This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 300 This is our life
The resident population of Hangzhou is rising at an extremely fast rate. For this reason, Su Shi, a little fat man, is tired like a dog. After a month, let alone cooking and enjoying, everyone lost a lot of weight and changed back again. The appearance of that handsome little scholar two or three years ago.

It's just that people seem very tired, but fortunately, Lu Sen sent people to deliver several boxes of bottled honey, and the quantity is enough, this kid drinks one bottle every day, just like he has been beaten with chicken blood, he insists on working hard to deal with it. official business.

The increased population brings food, clothing, housing, and transportation, which are actually just trivial matters. The real trouble lies in the friction between locals and non-locals, frictions between non-locals, and other public security or criminal cases.

But fortunately, this kid also knows what government assignment is, and doesn't handle everything by himself.

In terms of the case, he has hired several well-known masters from other places to help him review the case. If he encounters any problems, such as someone bullying others, he will not be too late.

As for the rest of the time, he was running outside the city... staking the land, planning to build another city around the nearby city.

Otherwise, the population of Hangzhou City will be difficult to divide.

This was originally an urgent and difficult task, but fortunately, Lu Huiqing, the governor of Hangzhou County who took office, set up a new county in the north, which was built and lived by the barbarian seamen who planned to stay in the Central Plains. Part of the diversion was just fine in the past, and it can solve the urgent need.

As for... the conflict between barbarian seafarers and exodus?
Naturally, it is towards one's own people.

This point Su Shi is still very clear.

Under the hard work of the Hangzhou government for two months, the problem of a large number of migrants in Hangzhou city has finally been solved.

With Hangzhou City as the center, two southwest and northwest annexed cities will be built to form a triangular giant city group.

So far, counting the two attached cities, the population of Hangzhou City has exceeded 200 million, far surpassing Bianjing, and has become the veritable largest city.

It is also a real city that never sleeps.

It's bustling here, it's bustling here.

Anyone who has been to Hangzhou City and has been allowed to walk around the city is reluctant to leave this beautiful and rich land, but it is a pity... The household registration system in the Northern Song Dynasty is very strict, and it is not easy for Semu people to settle here. They had to go around and watch the flowers, and then left reluctantly with nostalgia.

There are also some big ship owners, relying on the closeness of Hangzhou's 'economy', to ask Su Shi.

"I want to settle down in the Central Plains, and I want to live in the Central Plains."

"No."

"Zhenzhen Lu has one of our female compatriots, why can't we."

Su Shi sneered and said: "Because Lu Zhenren likes it, and the people are beautiful, you are a big man, why should Lu Zhenren like you!"

In a word, the sea merchants of Semu have both love and hatred towards Hangzhou City. This city can make them make a lot of money, it is prosperous and beautiful, and there are 'gods' sitting in town. It is a real paradise on earth.

But...it has nothing to do with them.

This is the city of the Song people, the country of the Song people, and the gods of the Song people.

Semu people can't do it if they want to settle down, let alone seek immortal fate.

All the people in line in front of Xianyuan Pavilion are Song people, and they can only be Song people.

The yamen who are responsible for maintaining order will even check their household registration when they encounter people who don't look like people from the Central Plains.

On this day, Su Shi stood at the foot of the mountain, looked at the towering Xianjia Mountain Gate above, and said with a sigh, "Whenever you see this situation, you will feel unworthy in the world."

Su Zhe next to him smiled and said, "You are familiar with Lu Zhenren, why don't you seek an immortal fate?"

"Don't ask, if I have the aptitude, Lu Zhenren will naturally give me a chance, if not, of course he won't mention it."

Su Shi was very open. He slowly passed by the team and walked towards the Xianyuan Pavilion.

The people lining up next to him will smile and bow their hands when they see him, or say hello.

Su Shi can be said to be the most approachable person in Hangzhou for hundreds of years. He has no pretensions, so he brings a servant with him when he goes out. He wears normal clothes and has no airs at all.

Even the county guard of Su was not only willing to eat pork meat, but also made pork meat delicious. What's even more outrageous is that he actually took Lu Zhenren down the evil road of eating pork meat.

Now pork meat is no longer low, and has even begun to surpass the status of mutton.

A lot of times, whether a thing is good or not, and whether it can be recognized by others, depends on whether the 'big man' likes it or not.

As the only recognized true immortal in the world, Lu Sen eats pork meat. How dare other people say this thing is low?

Or do you think you have a higher status than an immortal?
The popularity of porcine meat has added a meat food to the private dining table, which brings more economic benefits and benefits by the way... Many farmers can mow grass to raise pigs, or go hunting for mountain dolphins in the mountains and forests, and get an extra income .

After all, pigs tend to get fat more easily than sheep.

Seeing that his brother was so popular with the people, Su Zhe smiled and said, "It seems that the elder brother will be transferred to the capital in the future, and it is only a matter of time before he will be honored as a prime minister."

But Su Shi shook his head and said, "But I prefer to work locally, it's not easy to get along in the courtroom."

"If you don't have a backer, you won't be able to get along anywhere." Su Zhe smiled and said, "But eldest brother doesn't have this trouble."

"The help of others is always the help of others." Su Shi sighed.

In fact, he is a little troubled now. The world always regards him as a 'jester' beside Lu Zhenren. Hangzhou is not bad, and the people know that he is doing real things.

But other things are not clear, many people secretly say that he has a good life, knows the art of flattery, and the words are very ugly.

As the two walked, they came to Xianyuan Pavilion.

Su Shi smiled and said, "Why don't you go in and try?"

"I really want to try, I'll get up early tomorrow and wait in line." Su Zhe smiled, he didn't want to cause any reputational flaws to his eldest brother.

Everyone else obeyed the order, but I, SuZhe, didn’t stand in line.

Su Shi looked into the distance, and walked out of the red curtain light layer in a daze.

Before, she looked confident.

Su Zhe also saw it and asked, "How many people have obtained the fate of immortality so far?"

"None."

"Sure enough, seeking immortal fate is as difficult as going to the sky." Su Zhe sighed, and then he asked, "Big brother, you are familiar with Lu Zhenren, do you think he has the meaning of winning the world?"

Su Shi turned his head sharply, with a stern expression: "This... did you ask yourself, or did someone ask you to ask?"

Su Zhe was silent for a while, then asked, "Is there any difference?"

"If you ask it yourself, I will ignore it." Su Shi looked at his younger brother: "If you ask for someone else, I will immediately execute the family law on behalf of my father."

The eldest brother was like a father, Su Shi really wanted to beat Su Zhe, but the latter had no choice but to endure it.

Su Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "Is it alright to master the method after I go back? Save me some face."

Su Shi snorted, rolled his sleeves and said, "Follow me back to the manor."

It has been nearly half a year since the opening of the mountain gate, but Lu Sen spends most of his time in Xingqing Mansion.

With the 'opening' of the martial art system, Lu Sen's personal ability has been greatly strengthened.

The physical quality has been improved in an all-round way, and the area of ​​the system home has also doubled. As for other building formulas, weapon formulas, magic weapon formulas, etc., there have been a large number of increases.

However, the problem that restricts the substantial growth of Lu Sen's strength is still the issue of 'reiki'.

Moreover, many of the newly added formulas require special items such as 'Essential Reiki'.

The source of the essence of spiritual energy comes from the extraction of the 'disciple' by the sect system, and it is stored in the sect's spiritual energy pool.

Now, there are only Yaoyao and Kunkun in the sect.

Not to mention the small number of disciples, these two have a loose nature and do not like to practice qigong very much, so the pure aura in the sect's aura pool grows very slowly.

Lu Sen actually wanted to accept a few more disciples, but there were very few people who could pass the system 'authentication' to have immortal fate.

So now the sect is just an empty shelf.

Lu Sen routinely walked above the city wall, looking at the gray-white distance.

The Xixia army is on the other side, and... it's hard to see signs of their large-scale activities now.

Because of the cold weather, and because the food supply of the Xixia army is running out.

Originally, the northwest did not produce much grain, and the largest grain-producing area, Helan Mountain, was occupied by the Song people. The domestic grain of Xixia was almost bottomed out.

Not to mention the civilian population, even the army is almost out of supply.

Di Qing stood beside him and said with a smile, "Zhenzhen Lu, if the ice and snow in the north melts after more than two months, it's time for me to destroy Bei Di."

Originally, Di Qing planned to attack Xixia in the summer half a year ago, but... Then there was an incident of forcing the palace, and when the official family changed, Di Qing slowed down and was not in a hurry.He continued to accumulate strength while waiting for Xixia to weaken.

"After Xixia is gone, what are General Di's plans?" Lu Sen asked.

Di Qing fell silent, and finally he chuckled again: "If you can get away, then resign and go home and be a free man."

Di Qing, who escaped the fate of death in history and conquered most of the territory of Xixia, is no longer as tense as before, and his people have eased.

When this person calms down, he can think about a lot of things.

For example, the reason why I was rejected by the civil servants in the past.

He now also understands that if Xixia is defeated, then waiting for his own destiny may not be very good.

Lu Sen said with a smile: "When Xuanhua Mansion is captured, General Di will definitely be able to seal it, I said. If the court does not seal it, I will help you vent your anger."

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, then gently cupped his hands and said, "This will trouble Lu Zhenren."

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Sen returned to the Xingqing mansion. He didn't expect that Mu Guiying was already sitting there waiting for him.

After Lu Sen entered, he cupped his hands and said, "Marshal Mu, but what happened?"

This is an official residence, not a home, so the two naturally match their official positions.

Mu Guiying said, "Go to the backyard, I want to ask Zhenren Lu about something."

Lu Sen nodded.

When the two got to the backyard, Lu Sen took the initiative to ask, "Mother-in-law, you seem to be a little puzzled?"

The backyard was considered a private place, so naturally it had to be called another name.

Mu Guiying sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion and said with a smile: "Just now I was patrolling the city with my troops and horses, and I happened to hear your conversation with General Di on the city wall."

Lu Sen was somewhat impressed.

The city wall was at least four feet high from the ground, and the weather was cold and windy at the time. He and Di Qing were talking on the city wall. It is reasonable to say that no sound should be heard from two feet away.

But Mu Guiying still heard it, which shows that her strength is very strong, and she has been getting stronger. She is much stronger than she was five years ago.

Is this the benefit that comes from daily hard practice after having a spirit beast?
"Judging from the past of our Yang family, if General Ruo Di really destroyed Xixia, what awaits him must be the dismissal of the imperial court officials." Mu Guiying sighed and said, "Sener, you want to protect him, but I have thought about the thoughts of the current officials and officials, and I don't worry about them..."

"There's nothing to worry about." Lu Sen shook his head: "I was able to force them to give in before, and I can do the same in the future."

This is the confidence brought by absolute strength.

Lu Sen didn't mean to control the court, but some things were too excessive and violated the three views. He really couldn't stand it.

Te Guiying stared at him and looked at the ground, then shook her head, stood up again, and said, "I'm a woman after all, and I don't understand what your men think."

In her mind, it is better to have less than one thing.

After all, his son-in-law is an immortal in the sky, so it's good to look down on the world from above, why bother to come down and cause a lot of embarrassment.

Of course, she knows that her vision is limited, and perhaps her own thoughts are really ridiculous.

Therefore, she just raised a point, and did not mean to persuade.

Seeing Mu Guiying twisting her waist and leaving, Lu Sen sighed.

He didn't know that Mu Guiying was worried about himself and the Lu family.

But he knew better that if the course of the world could not be drastically changed and the Song people's thinking that they valued literature over martial arts, then the Jingkang change would eventually reappear, it was just the difference between earlier and later.

Therefore, he must keep the warriors who can fight, and try to guide the pioneering heart of the Song people.

Now that the plan is going well, even Bao Zheng has gone to sea, so the rest is to proceed as planned, and then hand over everything to time.

Of course, there is also one of the biggest problems, where are the last two whales.

Where is the hibiscus tree in the west, or the world tree?

After another three months, Song soldiers braved the rain of arrows to attack the city under the Xuanhua Palace.

A cloud ladder was placed on the city wall, and two rushing cars hit the top of the city with falling rocks, and they came to the city gate, hitting the thick wooden door with a pestle.

There are more than a dozen luminous wells in the rear, and where they are illuminated, the Xixia soldiers cannot see with their eyes.

In the palace of Xuanhua Mansion, Li Langzuo, the little king of Xixia, sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.

The cries of killing came faintly from outside the palace.

Several father-in-law trembled and knelt down in front of him.

Li Langzuo straightened his crown and asked, "Isn't there a hidden prime minister?"

"I heard...have escaped into the secret way."

Li Langzuo sneered twice, and then smiled bitterly: "I originally thought about keeping a low profile, waiting to grow up, subduing the loyal ministers, and then not hiding the old man, but I didn't expect that I didn't wait until I grew up, but waited. Here comes the army of the Song people."

At this time, Li Liang Zuofang was 13 years old. He was still young, but he already spoke with the demeanor of a hero.

Several father-in-law knelt down and dared not speak.

Li Langzuo asked again: "Where's the queen? She should have followed the old man who didn't hide."

"The queen stayed in the pepper room and didn't go anywhere."

Li Langzuo was stunned for a moment: "She didn't leave? Call her over."

After a while, a little girl wearing a wind crown came over, she looked like she was only 12 years old.

She timidly walked up to Li Langzuo and said in a low voice, "See the Emperor."

"Why didn't you leave?"

"The emperor is here, how can the slave family leave!"

At this time, Li Langzuo began to face up to his wife in his name.

After watching for a while, he found that this little wife, although she looked weak and indecisive, had a tough look on her face.

"It's okay if we don't leave, our husband and wife are here to wait for the Song army to break the city." Li Langzuo smiled bitterly: "This is the fate of our royal family."
