Film and TV: Starting from the marriage with Zhao Linger

At the same time, everyone at the port was full of expectations.

After all, Li Shouxi's mission this time was not just to go to Daliang. The most important thing was that he opened up the Maritime Silk Road between Liaodong and Jiangnan.

From then on, direct trade was established between Jiangnan and Liaodong.

Therefore, what these people were waiting for was the specialty that Li Shouxi brought from Jiangnan this time -

Silk, porcelain, tea, spices...

As large ships docked, the port, although not as prosperous as Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, was much larger and more convenient, with cargo occupying no more than one-tenth of the port's area.

This is also Li Shouxi’s plan. It can be used at this time, but it cannot be absent.

Chapter 39 Seven-story Palace

"Your humble servant Wang Meng respectfully welcomes the return of His Majesty!"

On the dock.

Led by Liaodong governor Wang Meng, a group of Liaodong officials bowed their heads and kowtowed.

Wanyan Wudi, Buyeo Sword Master, and Dongxia Wannu King are also among them.

After all, they didn't want to miss out on what Li Shouxi brought this time, because they had their own tribes behind them, and they were eager for these specialties brought from the Jiangnan area.

The most important thing is that Li Shouxi has become a sword immortal this time and has entered the ranks of ninth-grade masters.

Even though Li Shouxi has only just entered the eighth level of martial arts!

Even when Li Shouxi was stationed at the frontier, his strength was no less than the ninth rank, and his dragon-elephant power was invincible.

But at this time, Li Shouxi's breakthrough was in his cultivation, while the Sword Immortal corresponded to a ninth-grade master of the Finger Profound Realm. In addition, Li Shouxi was still so young. Once he stepped into the ninth grade in the future, he would definitely be the number one person under the immortals on land.

This time most of them came to verify.

At least in their hearts, they found it incredible.

They knew that Li Shouxi had the natural power to guard the border, but they had never heard that Li Shouxi was also a swordsman, and a top-notch swordsman.

Even Cao Shaoqing's name as the Demon Sword Immortal surprised them all when it appeared.

You should know that there are two sword masters in Liaodong. One is the Buyeo Sword Master, who is similar to the ancestor of the Japanese swordsmanship and the pillar of the Buyeo tribe; the other is the Goryeo Sword Master. More than ten years ago, Goryeo was destroyed by the Duke of Zhenguo Su Dingshan, and the Goryeo Sword Master then lived in seclusion in the mountains and his whereabouts are unknown.

Unexpectedly, after the two sword saints, two more sword immortals appeared in Liaodong.

"My Lords, please stand up. Over the past year, I have been on a diplomatic mission to Daliang. Thanks to the joint leadership of Governor Wang and you Lords, Liaodong has been able to maintain peace and stability."

"Everything is thanks to the prince. We dare not complain!"

Just kidding, after the power left by Li Shouxi severely damaged the thousand-year-old family, these people will naturally be as honest as possible.

Even the thousand-year-old families are no match for Li Shouxi, and they don’t want to fight against a rock.

What's more, the emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers, and their welfare benefits in Liaodong are extremely high.

"Grandmaster Wang, this is the list of goods we brought from Jiangnan this time.

Except for the goods belonging to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, the rest of the goods will be deposited in the Governor's Mansion as welfare and rewards for officials at all levels this year. Everything is up to you to arrange."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Upon hearing this, all the officials bowed in worship.

I didn’t expect that the first wave of benefits after Li Shouxi’s return would be such.

You have to know that the goods Li Shouxi brought were at least of high quality. In Liaodong, they were not worth a fortune, but they were in short supply and were considered luxury goods.

Even if the family members don't use it, keeping it outside will at least be worth several years' salary.

“Heads, where are your goods?

Each tribe has a boatload of specialties. Although they are not the top-quality products in Jiangnan, they are large enough to satisfy your hunger.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wanyan Wudi and the others heard this and looked at the Black Dragon-class battleships that Li Shouxi pointed out. The five Black Dragon-class battleships were gifts for the five tribes.

Jurchen, Buyeo, Dongxia, Bohai, Khitan!

These were the five largest tribes in Liaodong. As for the Koreans, they were suppressed by the Tang Dynasty and had no territory or regime of their own.

···

"This is Fengtian City, the provincial capital of Liaodong.

Originally, the official residence of Prince Yan was here, but I have been guarding Longmen Pass for many years, so I have not stayed here for too long."

Taking everyone back home, Li Shouxi also acted as a tour guide.

The towering ten-mile city wall, the one hundred thousand people lining the streets to welcome the emperor, and the gratitude and admiration on their faces were definitely not due to the government's coercion.

Li Hanyi, Yan Shisanniang, and Princess Nihuang were all curious about Li Shouxi.

Li Shouxi was a vassal who guarded the border and was in charge of killing and conquering.

Even though I had heard before that Li Shouxi was a wise king, I still underestimated his status in the hearts of the people of Liaodong.

This also greatly increased Zhao Linger's favorability.

After all, she wanted to marry a good man, a wise king.

"What building is that? It's so tall?"

As soon as they stepped into Fengtian City, the first thing they saw was a hundred-meter-high palace tower in the center of the city.

At first glance it looks like a building.

But if you look closely, you will find glazed golden tiles, mahogany doors and windows, flying eaves and ridge beasts...

All this is in the architectural style of the palace.

Within half a year, the ruins of Prince Yan's Mansion had been completely rebuilt.

Compared with the previous one, it is more magnificent and spectacular, with seven floors and a height of thirty-six meters.

The seventh level represents Li Shouxi’s level of power at this time.

Thirty-six zhang is considered a hundred-meter-high building. Even the tallest thirteen-story pagoda in Liaodong is only twenty zhang. From the top, one can overlook the entire city.

Therefore, the rebuilt palace is not a palace, but a palace tower!

The reason why Li Shouxi designed it this way is because it is lonely at high places.

After the wedding, it would be impossible for Li Shouxi to guard Longmen Pass for a long time, so the reconstruction of the Prince of Yan's Mansion must be mainly for office and rest.

The first and seventh floors are used for receiving guests, the second to fifth floors are used for offices, and the sixth floor is used as a temporary resting place.

The most important thing is that the conditions were not met when it was built before.

With the current development of Liaodong, the best and most comfortable palaces are naturally built, and the seven-story palace also represents Li Shouxi's status as a prince.

The nine-story palace is the imperial palace, a horizontal building;

The seven-story palace tower is for the princes and is built vertically.

“That’s the rebuilt Prince Yan’s Mansion.

The last time the nobles attacked, the front yard of the Prince of Yan's Mansion became a ruin, so it was rebuilt according to the design I left behind. This seven-story palace is thirty-six feet high, and it uses the latest construction technology. The materials used and the architectural decoration are all top-notch. "

"So fast?"

Rebuilding the Prince of Yan's Mansion in half a year? This is a huge project.

But thinking that since Li Shouxi had anticipated that the aristocratic families would take action, how could he not have anticipated the disaster at Prince Yan's Mansion? He must have started preparing for these things long ago.

After the noble family made a big fuss, the construction teams, materials and everything were the first to arrive.

“Haha, since I’ve known that the noble families are going to take action, how can I just sit there and wait for death?

Most of the red wood mortise and tenon joints, doors, windows, and furniture were prepared a year ago, and the overall frame was built in half a year. Then the red wood mortise and tenon joints were assembled on site, so it only took half a month to complete the project.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Li Shouxi's brilliant foresight.

And the closer they got, the more they could feel the majesty of the palace. It was far from being just an ordinary building. It was more than ten times larger.

Otherwise, Li Shouxi would not have decorated this seven-story palace in the style of a palace.

Chapter 40: Glazed Plank Road Golden Summit Arena

"so big!"

At the city gate, everyone could only see the height of the seven-story palace.

But when they actually arrived in front of this seven-story palace, everyone stared in shock at the majestic and magnificent palace before them.

The palace itself alone covers nearly ten acres.

The front has twenty bays and the side has twelve bays, which is close to the golden ratio.

What catches the eye is a row of seven-foot-high golden nanmu columns, which seem to be the base supporting the entire palace building, but the real foundation is ten concrete columns with a diameter of one foot around it.

Everyone was stunned when they entered such a huge palace.

The empty and silent hall should have been very dark.

But at this time, the hall was not only very bright, but also luxuriously decorated, which opened everyone's eyes.

In the middle was a forbidden pool that looked like it was paved with white jade, with bright white light reflecting from it, illuminating the entire hall.

On both sides of the forbidden pool, there is a seating system similar to that of the ancient Zhou Dynasty, which is divided into three layers from low to high starting from the middle. White marble steps, rosewood tables, top-grade wool blankets...

There are seven rosewood tables on each floor, which makes a total of 42 seats on both sides.

Behind the forbidden pool is Li Shouxi's throne!

Such a grand and luxurious hall, even Yan Shisan Niang and others could not help but be shocked by Li Shouxi's background.

How much gold would be needed to repair such a magnificent palace.

"There is another special feature in this forbidden pool. Please take a look!"

The water in the forbidden pond is very clear, and there are seventy-two koi fish kept in it, which is a pleasure to watch.

But to everyone's shock, Li Shouxi actually stepped into the forbidden pool, causing ripples on the water surface, and then Li Shouxi actually stood steadily on the water surface.

This surprised all the girls. Could it be that Li Shouxi had comprehended the realm of celestial phenomena?

Water benefits all things without competing?

“Haha, this is another feature of the forbidden pool, walking on water.

And this is not some state of mind or the blessing of true qi, it's just that there is a layer of colored glaze underneath, you can also try it? The colored glaze forms a straight path in the middle, blending with the water surface, and it cannot be seen with the naked eye. "

Upon hearing this, all the girls looked towards Li Shouxi's feet in disbelief.

But soon, after trying it out, the girls discovered that there really was a layer of colored glaze underneath. If they hadn't been standing firmly on solid ground, they wouldn't have been able to notice the colored glaze underneath.

This surprised all the girls. They didn't expect that the forbidden pool hid such a secret.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here, let's go to the seventh floor!"

"Why go to the seventh floor? Aren't there floors two to six?"

Hearing that Li Shouxi was going directly to the seventh floor, Li Hanyi looked at Li Shouxi with a puzzled expression.

After all, they were full of curiosity about the seven-story palace and wanted to visit it layer by layer. If they went directly to the seventh floor, wouldn't it be a lot less fun?

But Li Shouxi took his time and slowly explained:

“The first floor is for formal gatherings, the second to sixth floors are for offices within the palace, and the seventh floor is for receiving guests.

Because the seven-story palace was just built, the second to sixth floors have not been fully renovated and are mostly empty. Only the seventh floor is worth seeing, overlooking the entire Fengtian City and all the mountains."

"The fifth floor is used for office. Your Highness Prince Yan is really unexpected."

This is the main hall of the palace, which is accessible to ordinary people, let alone working here.

Everyone followed Li Shouxi to the stairs, which turned out to be a small house similar to a wooden house.

After entering, everyone could feel the wooden house rising.

In just ten breaths, as the wooden house reached the top, another open and bright space came into view.
