A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 677 Epilogue
The Lingguo announced the number, "3000 million guan?"

He despised the old guy, and underestimated Wang Lidong too much, "Three hundred million."

"Three hundred million strings? Yuan Ruo, are you kidding me?"

"Really so many?"

Most people still don't believe it, but Annan's crunchy nest in the backcountry, it is not bad to have 3000 million sticks.

"Don't take what your ancestors said seriously. Except for the Central Plains, all other places in the world are wild lands." After Wang Lidong asked Fugui to hang up the map of Xixia, he pointed to the land of Xixia and said, "Let's get back to business, let me talk about extinction now." How much money can everyone here earn after joining Xixia.

Xixia extends to the Yellow River in the east, Yumen Pass in the west, Xiaoguan in the south, and desert in the north. It covers an area of ​​about 1200 million hectares, two-thirds of which is yellow sand, and the remaining 4 million mu of grassland and fertile land.

The price of fertile land has risen a bit in the past two years, and now the price of an acre of fertile land is almost 2000 renminbi in the fields near Xixia.

If the grasslands and fertile fields of the entire Xixia were sold at half the price, or 1000 yuan/mu, it would be able to sell for about 5 million yuan! "

Sell ​​all?

Everyone was a little surprised.

Throughout the dynasties, the land conquered by the imperial court will be brought back to the imperial court, and then re-divided into administrative districts such as prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and then dispatched officials to manage them.So in previous years, if you win a war, you will lose money, and if you lose, you will lose money even more.

Duke Ling's eyes brightened and he said, "This is a good idea! Why didn't I think of it before. But if there are so many lands, if all of them are sold, the price will not be able to be sold at that time."

Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Then sell it slowly. This thing won't run away if you leave it there.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the population was about 3000 million. This is less than a hundred years old, and now it has 9000 million.In the future, the population of the Song Dynasty will increase, and the price of an acre of land will only increase.This time, Sihai Trading Company intends to buy 3000 million mu of pasture.”

"Buying so many lands, what are you going to do if you buy them?"

"Raising cattle and sheep, such a large pasture is more than enough to raise two to three million cattle and sheep."

Ling Guogong immediately did a mental calculation, and it took almost two years for a calf to be raised for slaughter.It takes only about half a year for a calf to be slaughtered much faster.

Now a cow can be sold for 12 guan, and a sheep for 6 guan. Excluding various expenses, the ranch can earn several million guan a year. The biggest investment is the cost of buying land. This business can definitely be done.

Most of the people in the hall are human beings, and they knew that if they bought the land at this price, they would not lose money even if they left it empty.So not long after, everyone unanimously decided that the 4 million mu of grassland and fertile land in Xixia should be fully contracted by shareholders.

As for what to raise in the future, we will hold a meeting to discuss it at that time, and we will stagger the breeding, so as not to rush forward and drive down the price of meat.

Prince Consort Li Wei said, "It takes a lot of herdsmen to raise cattle and sheep. If all cattle and sheep are raised, there will be at least tens of millions of them. There are not many people in Song Dynasty who can raise these things."

Cheng Guogong laughed and said, "Don't forget, son-in-law, most of the Xixia party members are herdsmen, and there are more than 300 million of them. How many do you want?"

Ling Guogong stroked his beard and said, "I almost forgot about this, so many people can at least sell hundreds of millions of sticks."

In the Great Song Dynasty, the price of slaves is not cheap. The cheapest one for a minor maid is 50 guan.

According to historical records, the famous official Han Qi served in the Zhending Mansion. In order to thank a certain customer for his service, he bought a maid for 100 guan and gave it to the customer.

The famous Mrs. Wang Anshi bought a beautiful concubine for her husband, and spent 900 copper coins.

Cheng Guogong said, "Based on this calculation, we can receive 6 guan from selling land and slaves alone. This battle can be fought!"

Ling Guo is fair, "There is also the family background of the party's nobles. In addition, there are so many large salt fields in Xixia. It is said that the annual salt production is almost 30 shi. If we replace it with our equipment, it should not be a problem to earn 90 million shi of table salt a year."

Wang Lidong said, "It has not been decades since the founding of the party and the country. The nobles' wealth and salt fields are worth 1 million yuan, and the income from selling land and slaves is 7 million yuan. The cost of the war is estimated to be within 2 million yuan. , so this time the troops will be guaranteed to earn 5 million guan. Now everyone votes, and those who agree to send troops raise their hands."

Crash, not surprisingly, all shareholders raised their right hands.

Passed unanimously.

On the second day, a huge sum of 1.5 million yuan was transferred from the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty to the account of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the "war machine" of the Song Dynasty was slowly activated.

Half a month later, Lian Guogong and Cheng Guogong led an army of 2 musketeers and escorted a large amount of luggage, heading towards Yanmen Pass.

"Daily, Daily, Tokyo Daily, Xixia is good at border wars, and Li Yuanhao sent troops to attack Sanchuankou."

"Daily, Daily, Tokyo Daily, Sankawaguchi soldiers and civilians killed thousands and captured tens of thousands!"

The common people were outraged by Li Yuanhao's massacre of the people of the Song Dynasty.At the same time, he scolded the imperial army for their inaction, and hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in the northwest, but it was useless.

"In the past ten years, the Western Army has actually spent 2 million guan from the imperial court. My dear, it will cost 2000 million guan in one year."

"After so many years of fighting, the party thieves have not disappeared, and they have become more and more rampant."

"With so much money, a reward is directly offered, and a party thief's head is 100 pennies. It is guaranteed that within a few years, the party thief will die. I think it is the collusion between the ministers and the frontier army to support the bandits."

"I've seen it for a long time. The party is full of 300 million, and the soldiers are one out of ten, which is only 30 troops. I have a million soldiers in the Song Dynasty, but I can't take the little Xixia. If there is no ghost here, I will swallow this table. belly."

On this day, the Great Court Meeting.

As soon as the emperor sat on the dragon chair, there were ministers coming out, and the privy envoy Ouyang Xiu bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, ten days ago, the Dangxiang thieves raided four places, starting from Tanglong Town, Yongle City, Yinzhou, Hongzhou, etc. In the ten prefectures, thousands of our soldiers and civilians were slaughtered, and tens of thousands of civilians were captured."

Although Princess Fukang had known the news ten days ago, she still felt very uncomfortable after hearing the news, "Why is Li Yuanhao so good at fighting on the sidelines?"

Ouyang Xiudao, "I heard that there was continuous heavy snowfall in Xixia territory, the flat ground was more than ten feet deep, and seven or eight out of ten cattle and sheep died."

The word 'white disaster' popped up in the minds of all the ministers, and it seemed that the war was inevitable.If you don't rob Da Song, then most party members will starve to death in the spring.

Wang Lidong came out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the mere traitors of the party and party dare to invade the country and kill the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Please send troops to pacify Xixia, capture Li Yuanhao alive, and avenge the dead soldiers and civilians!"

Ouyang Xiu hurriedly said, "No. It's already winter, and if the soldiers go out rashly, they may suffer heavy casualties before they have gone halfway!" He has been in the west for more than ten years, and even if he stays in the house in winter, he will freeze You have to die, let alone fight against the wind and snow.

Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Mr. Ouyang may not understand the current equipment of our soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty. Even if it is colder, it will be safe."

Ouyang Xiu waited to argue, the new emperor waved his hand and said, "The daring gangster has repeatedly invaded the borders of our Great Song Dynasty, killed our people in the Great Song Dynasty, and deceived me that there is no one in the Central Plains?"

Huangyou 11 December 29th.

Zhaolian State Duke Lu Maohou served as the envoy of Xuanhui South Academy and the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Sanlu Economic Strategy, and Cheng Guogong Liu Gongpu was the deputy envoy.

At the beginning of January of the following year, Li Yuanhao led an army of 15 to attack Weizhou. As soon as the Dangxiang iron cavalry was dispatched from their old nest, the news reached the ears of the Musketeers through telegrams. Adding [-] newly reorganized new troops, they surrounded the city of Weizhou on all sides.
Duke of Qi
Ru Lan took a small wooden stick and explained a math problem on the blackboard.Ever since she was captured by Princess Pingning and worked as a little assistant to check the accounts, she started to work every morning after breakfast, and Qi's mother would not be kind until the sun went down.

For three days in a row, Wang Lidong saw that Rulan was still doing it alone, so he reminded him, how did Zhuge Liang die?

Ru Lan was confused, who is Zhuge Liang?Is it famous?
Only then did Wang Lidong recall that the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms hadn't been published yet, and Zhuge Liang's reputation was only spread among the common people and court officials in the Sichuan and Sichuan regions.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi, a great Confucian in the Southern Song Dynasty, personally endorsed Zhuge Liang, saying that "since Mencius, there are only Zhang Liang, a famous advisor in the Western Han Dynasty, and Zhuge Liang, a famous official in the Shu Han Dynasty." Since then, Zhuge Kongming's name will spread all over the world.

Wang Lidong gave a rough overview of his industry. Today, Sihai Trading Company has three vassal states, more than 50 private schools, more than 200 farms, and more than 500 "Song Royal Banks", with more than 30 employees and assets of more than 30 billion. However, he was only busy for half a day every day. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched Ru Lan's nose and said, "You've only read a few books, and you've been busy from morning to night. Think you should do this?"

Ru Lan blinked and asked curiously, "Then why don't you go home this afternoon if you have nothing to do, where will you go?"

cough cough.

Why is the brain circuit so different, Wang Lidong said, "I'm busy with court affairs. Don't interrupt, I'll ask you if you know how to do it."

Ru Lan nodded, she just wanted to find more people, she also thought about it, but how can such things as accounts be shown to outsiders casually, so she grabbed the officer's arm and said coquettishly, "Why don't you help me find some helpers?"

Wang Lidong pointed to the big magpie, the little magpie and others, "So many helpers, do you need them when you are free?"

Rulan said helplessly, "The big magpie is okay, he went to private school with me for several years. The little magpies can only write their own names."

Wang Lidong pointed out, "Then let them learn. The big magpie has been with you since childhood, and will accompany you for the rest of your life in the future. Where can you find such a loyal subordinate? Isn't it just literacy and arithmetic? You can teach them yourself." they."

So, the lovely Rulan pedant 'Deng Deng Deng' is online!

Sprinkle flowers!

Ru Lan suddenly raised her voice and said, "Little Magpie, come up and do this question on the blackboard again!"

The little magpie was thinking about something, when she heard her name being called, she immediately stood up subconsciously, and when she saw Ru Lan looking at her with a ferocious face, she shivered.

"Are you deserting again!!"

The little magpie hurriedly waved her hands, and immediately walked to the blackboard, '98*635=? '

(⊙﹏⊙)
So hard!

After dawdling for a long time, I finally wrote a number.

"6310!"

Seeing the answer, Ru Lan was so angry that she was half-dead, grabbing the little magpie was a mess, she said it twice just now, and she still made a mistake.

Seeing the little magpie beating and scolding, Ru Lan threatened, "If you dare to desert again, I won't give you meat for the next meal!"

At night, after washing, Ru Lan crawled into bed, and began to ramble about the little magpie, "Officer, I'm so mad!"

Wang Lidong hugged his fragrant and soft daughter-in-law in his arms. Little Magpie is only 12 years old this year. It's normal to like to play or not to study, and the job of a maid is a lifelong job. Their family has no shortage of food, clothing, and treatment. Well, since you can eat and wait to die, why should you work hard to make progress. "Be patient, you've only been in class for a few days. Think about it when you first started school, you were absent all day long, and you're not a teacher now."

Ru Lan hurriedly shook her head to deny that she was serious when she was in school, and Zhuang Xuejiao often praised her.

(￣△￣;)
The master who often sneaks snacks and dozes off in the afternoon!
Wang Lidong was speechless, "Zhuang Xuexue is that" halfway through speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and then Qiu Ju's voice sounded, "My lord, urgent call from the Northwest!"

Wang Lidong got up, put on a big cloak, went to the living room, and took the telegram from Qiu Ju, "Great victory in the Northwest, killed 780 three party cavalry, won 540 horses and 340 armor Five thousand, three hundred and forty-six pieces, sixty-five thousand and four hundred and ten captive party thieves."

Wang Lidong said 'yes' twice. Although he knew that he would definitely win this battle, he didn't expect to win so beautifully. As for Li Yuanhao's escape by chance, hehe, the lost dog, it was a matter of a few days sooner or later.Looking at the number of casualties, 567 people were sacrificed (26 people from the guards), and 1986 people were injured.
On January 12, 23, the sky was clear and the sun was high.

Accompanied by hundreds of officials and the people of Tokyo City, the Great Song Empress stood beside Jinming Pond, waiting for the triumphant return of Pingxia's army.

The hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty was actually a history of beatings.After being pressed and beaten by the Khitan for many years, I couldn't take it any longer and could only kneel down and call 'Daddy'.This makes sense, after all, the Liao Kingdom has a large population, a vast territory, and strong soldiers and horses.But being crushed on the ground by Li Yuanhao, the former follower, and finally begging for mercy and calling him 'big brother', it was really embarrassing.

But no one expected that it had not been two months since the official ascended the throne, and when everyone was wondering if Song would be more "cowardly" than before, the new emperor pushed Xixia flat with a wave of his hand, and captured the "two five boys" alive Li Yuanhao, it was really the first time in a hundred years that Song Dynasty raised his eyebrows.

Rejoice!

Wang Lidong, as the commander-in-chief of the five-army commander-in-chief, should be by the emperor's side, but at this time, he was standing in a relatively remote corner with his wife and mother-in-law, eating snacks and chatting gossip.

He had inquired that the reception ceremony for the triumphant return and the activities of the prisoners would take about two hours in total.

Definitely dull and boring.

It's better to find a place and watch the fun easily.

Sure enough, the whole celebration process was stinky and long, but all the people were in high spirits and high spirits.

Ru Lan and her mother-in-law also cheered loudly from time to time, especially when Li Yuanhao made his debut, Wang Lidong's ears were almost deafened by the cheers.

I don't know which wicked ghost yelled, "'Climb the Gray Emperor' jump!"

After a while, all the people in the audience shouted, "Climbing the Gray Emperor" jumped! "

Li Yuanhao is very lustful, he often snatches other people's wives, and finally he hits his idea on his own daughter-in-law. Seeing that his son Ning Ling's wife, Mrs. Wuyi, is very beautiful, he snatches Mrs. Wuyi into the palace and sends her to the palace. Canonization as the new queen, this matter spread to the Song Dynasty, and the people of the Song Dynasty gave Li Yuanhao the nickname "Emperor Climbing Gray".

Li Yuanhao, who was kneeling on the high platform, felt a little regretful at this moment. He knew that when he was captured, he took a knife to his neck!
Princess Fukang and Officer Liang whispered a few words, and after a while the music started, and Li Yuanhao danced and writhed under the threat of a group of guards "drawing their swords".

"Climb the Gray Emperor and do the dog dance!"

"Climb the Gray Emperor and do the dog dance!"

Amidst cheers and cheers, the celebration finally came to an end.

Spring goes to autumn, time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the autumn of the second year after Xixia was destroyed, Wang Lidong personally led an army of [-]. It took more than two months to recapture the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, sweep across the Liao Kingdom, and personally capture Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji alive. dream.

In addition, the Four Seas Guards also frequently dispatched, and successively captured Gaochang Uighur (Xinjiang), East and West Karakhan (Central Asia), and Tubo. They occupied Chenla and other small Southeast Asian countries, completely turning the entire Indochina Peninsula into a own territory.

The other nine shareholders followed suit and spent a lot of money to buy guns, cannons and iron steamships from the Four Seas Trading Company, and opened up a magnificent colonial era.

"Wow wow wow!" A burst of crying came into Princess Pingning's ears, and when she turned her head, she saw the elder son snatching the big frog puppet from the younger son, and immediately shouted, "Heng'er, bullying your younger brother again!"

Wang Lidong shook the big frog in his hand and said, "I'm just teasing him, I don't think the little guy doesn't care about teasing him at all." He said and returned the big frog in his hand to the crybaby!
Princess Pingning waved his hand, and when the eldest son approached, he asked the elder son about taking a concubine in an old-fashioned manner.They have been married for four years, but the daughter-in-law's stomach has not moved. In the second year, she planned to find a concubine for her son, but unfortunately the eldest son rejected it.Over the past few years, mother and son have often had disputes over this matter.

Wang Lidong said, "Next year, next year Rulan will definitely give birth to a big fat grandson for you." Rulan was only 15 years old when she married him, and she herself hadn't grown up yet.

Princess Pingning looked at his eldest son and said, "If Rulan still doesn't make any movement next year."

Wang Lidong hurriedly said, "All according to mother!"

Princess Pingning snorted, and his son finally let go.Then he started nagging about his cousin Qi Xuan, he was very envious of his sister-in-law, now he has a grandson and a granddaughter, although the grandson is a bastard, but it is better than a son with nothing.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

Cousin Qi Xuan walked into the room, said hello to Qi's mother, and signaled to Wang Lidong to call him for anything.

When the two came outside, Wang Lidong saw his cousin's face turning dark, and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Sister-in-law is having trouble with you again?"

This guy Qi Xuan has lived a very chic life these years, rich and free, he would go out and wander around for a few months every year, and every time he came back, there would be one or two more beauties behind him, and his big lady was a bit 'He Dong' Lion', so the chickens and dogs are often noisy, and the house is restless.

Qi Xuan sighed, "My father is going to take a concubine!"

Wang Lidong blurted out "Damn it", the uncle is notoriously suffering from bronchitis, even worse than his cheap father, seeing the uncle is like a mouse seeing a cat, and the maids around him are all horrible Type, this is more than 50, old and old and actually having a second spring, "What's the matter, your mother will agree?"

Qi Xuan said, "The concubine my father wants to take is a distant niece of my mother."

Wang Lidong gossiped, "Are you with sister-in-law?"

Qi Xuan said, "Cousins!"

'Crackling' thunder rolling.

No wonder my cousin's face is so dark, and he became brothers with his father.

"what happened?"

Qi Xuan put the matter in a nutshell, since Sheng Minglan entered the house, he was suppressed by the eldest lady and the old lady, but because of his help, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also had enough time, and Sheng Minglan's small life It's still very hilarious.

But since Sheng Minglan gave birth to the eldest son last year, the pressure from his old lady and eldest lady has directly risen to the top.

I don't know which vicious and smokey guy gave Sheng Minglan a bad idea, asking her to help her father-in-law take in a concubine, and then the firepower will be halved.Sheng Minglan didn't know what method she used to establish friendship with the concubine's aunt, and then she came to cook the cooked rice, and now the girl is already happy.
Wang Lidong thought to himself, that wicked and smoldering one is your sweetheart Sheng Minglan, "If this news gets out, the reputation of the girl from the Sheng family will be completely ruined! From now on, the daughters of his family will not be able to marry into a wealthy family." .”

It's too dirty for a daughter-in-law to pimp her father-in-law.The first impression of outsiders upon hearing the news—the daughter-in-law and father-in-law must be having an affair!
In the TV series, Minglan encouraged Hualan to do this, and the two were very proud of themselves, as if they were so smart.

It's an insult to the intelligence of the ancients.

The women in the backyard of the deep house usually study these things when they have nothing to do, not to mention that the Central Plains has been passed down for thousands of years, and no dark means have appeared.

But why no one dares to use it?

It's like a mushroom bomb, it hurts people and yourself while throwing it out, and no one has a good end.

As long as you dare to use it, you will be discovered sooner or later. After the exposure, the reputation of this girl will be worse than that of the stinking ditch.

Qi Xuan nodded, suddenly startled, he remembered that the father-in-law of the sixth eldest sister Sheng Hualan also took a concubine last year, and his heart was furious!

The relationship between Xiaoliu and Sheng Hualan is very good, it must be Sheng Hualan's bad idea to not let Sheng Hualan come to the house again in the future, lest my Xiaoliu be spoiled by her!
Immediately, he told his cousin about it, "Sheng Hualan usually seems to be a well-behaved person, but he didn't expect to think of such a vicious thing!"

Wang Lidong was speechless, isn't this a slap in the face.But he didn't argue with his cousin. He looked at the sky and found that it was almost five o'clock. After discussing it, the two decided to go to the 'Emperor's Palace' for a drink.

At this time, a familiar shout sounded from the direction of the gate, "Brother-in-law, help!" Sheng Changfeng trotted to the two of them, grabbed Wang Lidong's arm and shouted for help.

Cousin Qi Xuan teased, "Chang Feng, who are you targeting again this time?"

Sheng Changfeng has been like a fish in water since he became a censor. In the past few years, he has caught several big mice, not only becoming a five-pin red official, but also earning a lot of money. Now the best member of the Sheng family is Sheng Changfeng .

According to this trend, it really fulfilled his grand wish, "The entire Sheng family has to be protected by me." '

However, it also offended many people, and was almost chopped up several times to feed the fish in the Bian River.

"Speak slowly on the road." Wang Lidong pulled his cousin, and Sheng Changfeng got into the carriage.

Sheng Changfeng got into the carriage, and after sitting firmly, he talked about the matter roughly.

Recently, he has his eye on a big fat sheep, former Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang's Liulang Zeng Hui, who is now the county magistrate of Weishi County in Bianjing.According to his investigation, nearly 10 yuan has been embezzled through various means in three years.

I don't know who broke the news. When he went out today, he was almost kidnapped. After thinking about it, the only one who offended him recently was Zeng Hui.

Wang Lidong looked at Sheng Changfeng, a little speechless. Although Zeng Gongliang passed away, he had been the prime minister for many years, and he had a good relationship with Princess Fukang. There are so many fat sheep in the world, why did he choose this difficult one.

Sheng Changfeng explained in a low voice, "I heard that Mr. Zeng left a lot of property for his youngest son, Zeng Hui."

It's really a man who kills a bird for food!

Wang Lidong signaled that he understood, "You hand in the information as soon as possible."

While talking, the car arrived at the 'Emperor's Palace', which is composed of eight eight-storey buildings. There are everything to eat, drink and play in it. It has surpassed Fanlou and become the most famous entertainment place in Tokyo.

The three of them didn't enter the box, but sat in the private room in the lobby, ordered three pots of wine, a few side dishes, and watched the performance on the stage
When the wine was hot, there were two coquettish men dressed in different races, and they swayed onto the stage. Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji and Xixia King Li Yuanhao danced enchanting steps to the music
"The official is back." Seeing Wang Lidong pushed the door and entered the room, Ru Lan rushed forward, feeling a strong smell of alcohol, and frowned, "Why do you drink so much wine?"

Wang Lidong immediately changed his clothes, washed his face, sat down, took the teacup offered by his wife, drank a couple of sips, and said, "Brother is in a bad mood, so I drank a couple of cups with him."

Ru Lan asked curiously, "What's wrong with Big Brother? Xiao Liu and Big Aunt's sister-in-law are flirting again?"

Wang Lidong told his daughter-in-law about the strange things that happened at his cousin's house, Rulan opened his mouth in surprise, this kind of thing is really ruining the three views!
I didn't expect Xiao Liu to be so courageous that he dared to tear himself apart with his mother-in-law, but thinking about Xiao Liu's experience in the past two years, it doesn't matter if he thinks about it, he has already broken his face.

Wang Lidong said, "It will be difficult for your second brother and third brother's daughters." Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng were married two years ago. children.

Sheng Changfeng married Uncle Hejian's second daughter and took five concubines. Now he has three sons and five daughters.When he was drinking just now, he didn't tell Sheng Changfeng about it. When he found out in the future, he would tear Sheng Minglan's heart apart.

Ru Lan nodded silently, as long as this kind of scandal gets out, no house mistress will allow the Sheng family girl to come in!
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was unhappy, Wang Lidong comforted him, "Now you are the eldest daughter of the Qi family." He picked up Rulan and went into the bedroom, "Today my mother mentioned the child matter to me again, we have to hurry up gone."

Spring goes and autumn comes, and before you know it, another ten years have passed.

The Shangjing Imperial Palace of the Liao Kingdom is grand in scale and majestic, with a circumference of 13.5 kilometers. It is divided into ten cities in the north and south. The imperial city is in the north and Seoul is in the south.The imperial city is the seat of palaces and government offices of the Khitan royal family and nobles, with a circumference of 7.5 kilometers. The remaining city walls are 6-10 meters wide and 12-16 meters wide.

Since it was occupied by the Song Dynasty army ten years ago, it has been repaired and opened to all tourists at the suggestion of Wang Lidong.

In the first few years, few people visited. After all, it is a bit far away from the Song Dynasty, and the traffic is very inconvenient. However, after the train opened three years ago, it has become a tourist attraction. Tens of millions of Song people come to visit and check in every year.

On this day, a young couple brought three children, two boys and one girl, the little girl was three or four years old, one of the two boys looked to be eight or nine years old, and the other was also six or seven years old, and they came to the Chaotian Gate of the Shangjing Palace. outside.

The little girl looked up at her father, and said Nuo Nuo, "Daddy, my feet hurt."

Wang Lidong hurriedly picked up the little girl, put her on his neck, and said warmly, "Hold your hands up."

The little girl held her father's head, looked left and right excitedly, her two short legs kept swinging, and urged, "Drive, drive, Dad, go quickly. Go quickly."

Ru Lan who was at the side was a little unhappy when she saw that her daughter was so unruly, "Qin'er."

Seeing her old lady staring at her, Qin'er had the expression of daring to murmur loudly and clean up your expression when she went back, and she immediately froze.

Wang Lidong smiled.

In the past few years, Rulan gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The two sons looked like their mother, and the little girl looked like herself, but her temper did not follow him. 'Ru Lan'.

Seeing that the two sons were arguing fiercely about whether it was right or wrong for the Liao Kingdom to build such a large capital city on the grassland, Wang Lidong stepped forward and touched the heads of the two sons and said, "Whether it should be built or not, let's put it aside for a while. After visiting the palace and returning to the inn, it’s not too late for you to discuss it.”

The eldest son Qi Bao touched his messy hair, a little unhappy, muttering
This reminded Wang Lidong of those days when he had a similar expression when he rubbed Rulan's head. He remembered that his daughter-in-law was only 15 years old at the time. She turned to look at Rulan and found that Rulan was also looking at him. , "Let's go, let's enter the palace. I carved a few words on the dragon chair back then. I don't know if it's still there."

"Dad really carved words on the dragon chair?"

"of course."

"What words are engraved?"

"you guess."
