One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin said: "According to my estimation, if you want to completely control Xinghan Island, you need to build more than a dozen cities. Now the three cities on Xinghan Island have a total population of . In the future, the entire Xinghan Island can accommodate A population of three to four million is still no problem.”

Yu Liyan was once again shocked and said: "This island turns out to be so big, and my husband also calls this island Xinghan Island."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, I named this island Xinghan Island. The city in front of me is called Xinghan City, and it will become the capital of the entire Xinghan Island in the future. The other two cities are called Jilong City and Yilan City. "

Yu Liyan thought of the dilapidated Liao Kingdom and felt a little lonely and replied: "Yes."

Li Xin patted Yu Liyan and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will give you the right to name one of the remaining cities."

Yu Liyan shook his head and said: "No need, husband. Yu Liyan knows the importance. My husband is the one who does important things. Yu Liyan cannot hold me back. I just hope that my husband can treat us Khitan people better in the future."

Li Xin replied: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely not treat my Khitan people badly in the future."

Yu Liyan nodded and said: "Well, I believe your husband can do it. How did you get so many people on the island? I don't think there are many refugees coming with the boat this time."

Li Xin sneered: "I have to thank the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty for this. If it weren't for his Huashigang policy that made it difficult for the people in the southeast to survive, and a large-scale peasant riot broke out in the southeast at the end of last year, I wouldn't have had such a large population. Well, precisely because of this peasant uprising, there were many times more refugees than usual, and I was able to recruit refugees equivalent to half of the current total population of the island."

Yu Liyan sighed: "Perhaps none of them would have thought that my husband was the biggest winner of that peasant uprising."

Li Xin said: "Okay, madam, let's get off the boat."

After the two got off the boat, Li Xin took Yu Liyan around Xinghan City.

Yu Liyan asked: "Husband, I see there are still many vacant houses in the city."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, when Xinghan City was originally built, it was built to accommodate people in the future. Now Xinghan City has a population of ."

Yu Liyan said: "What about the other two cities?"

Li Xin replied: "Jilan City is located in the northeast of Xinghan City. It has a population of more than and is the most important naval base on Xinghan Island. Yilan City is in the southeast of Xinghan City. Because it was just built this year, so There are only people now, but Yilan City is located in a plain area and will become one of the important food supply bases of Xinghan Island in the future. Both Jilong City and Yilan City were built to accommodate a population of , that is New cities in the future will also be built to accommodate a population of people."

Yu Liyan asked again: "I see that the roads here are very smooth. What materials are used to build them?"

Li Xin said: "This is built with materials unique to Xinghan Island. Not only are the roads in the city very smooth, but the official roads between the three cities are also very smooth."

The two of them talked while watching. Yu Liyan was suddenly attracted by something and ran into a shop. Li Xin went in and saw that it was a shop selling various glass products. It seemed that the women all had similar hobbies.

Yu Liyan was surprised: "These mirrors are so clear."

When the shop boy saw a customer coming in, he stepped forward and said, "Girl, you want to buy a mirror. The shop has a full range of glazed products. There are large and small glazed mirrors."

Yu Liyan asked: "Seller, this kind of mirror must be very expensive."

The waiter shook his head and said: "It's not expensive. The cheapest colored glass mirror in the shop only costs yuan. The glass mirror the girl is holding is larger than the cheapest glass mirror in the shop, but it only costs yuan." ."

Yu Liyan sighed: "It's so cheap. The glass products I saw in my hometown are very expensive, and they are not as beautiful and clear as the glass products here."

The boy said: "At first glance, the girl looks like someone who has just landed on the island. Glaze products are a unique product of Xinghan Island. Now almost every household has glass products."

Li Xin stepped forward and said, "This is two taels of silver. You can wrap this mirror for me."

The boy said respectfully: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

The boy quickly wrapped the mirror and gave it to Yu Liyan. Li Xin took Yu Liyan out of the store and continued to walk around.

Yu Liyan held the mirror and said: "I didn't expect that the glass products that are very precious in Daliao are so cheap on Xinghan Island, and the quality is much better than what I saw in Daliao."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Haha, Xinghan Island also has many specialties. Madam will gradually learn about it in the future."

The two walked around for a while and then returned to the city guard's house. When they arrived at the city guard's house, Li Xin took Yu Liyan to the courtyard where Liang Hongyu lived.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Liang Hongyu and Li Jing sitting in the yard chatting. Li Xin said, "I'm back."

Liang Hongyu stood up and said with a smile: "The official is back."

Li Jing stood up and said, "Brother is back and brought back a beautiful woman. This must be my second sister-in-law."

Yu Liyan said nervously: "Yu Liyan has met the eldest lady and sister Jing."

Liang Hongyu magnanimously took Yu Liyan's hand and said, "Don't be so open-minded. We will be a family from now on. We should treat each other as sisters."

Yu Liyan nodded gently and said, "Yes, Sister Hongyu."

Li Jing joked: "Then I have another sister Yu Liyan."

Li Xin saw that the three women were chatting so happily, but she neglected herself, so she coughed and said, "There is another person standing here. Have you forgotten me?"

Li Jing said: "Brother, we three women are talking, what are you doing here?"

Li Xin pretended to be angry and said: "Hey, you girl, how can you talk to your brother like this?"

Liang Hongyu pulled Li Jing and said, "Is there something else, official?"

Li Xin asked: "Is Madam in good health while I'm gone?"

Liang Hongyu said: "Everything is fine, except that sometimes I can't eat and I always feel like vomiting."

Li Xin nodded and said: "This is a normal reaction in the early stages of pregnancy. It will get better after a while."

Li Jing asked: "Brother, how do you know so clearly about this matter?"

Li Xin said: "I learned about it from the doctor. Why do you think Sister Hongyu is carrying my child in her belly? Of course I want to know more about it. Okay, you guys can talk. I'll go back to the house and rest first." .”

After Li Xin left, the three women continued to chat. Li Jing asked: "Sister Yu Liyan, how did you get kidnapped by my brother?"

Yu Liyan thought for a while and said: "I don't know the details very well. I only know that I was sleeping in the palace in the imperial city of Xijin Mansion the night before, and when I woke up the next day, I was tied to a carriage. We are leaving Daliao."
