Lu Sen's persuasion played a role, and Bao Zheng began to consider whether he really wanted to write a book, describing the details of this voyage.
In fact, he also has voyage records, but they are very boring diaries.
The materials on the treasure ship were unloaded and temporarily stored in the government office of Hangzhou. In the next two or three months, they will be sent to the capital in batches by river boat through the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
In the government office of Hangzhou, Zhao Zongchu looked at the list in the brochure, and asked for confirmation: "Yun Bao, do you really want to donate all these properties to the state treasury?"
Bao Zheng nodded slightly.
Zhao Zongchu couldn't help hissing.
Even if he is the eldest son of the prince's family, he is used to wealth, especially his father is Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County, the richest man in the Song Dynasty, and he has enough understanding of wealth.
But when he saw the number of gold and silver treasures on it, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Really too much.
And almost all of it was donated, leaving only a small amount as the sailors' welfare and settlement expenses.
"I can only say that it is indeed Bao Longtu!"
Zhao Yunchu didn't have much contact with Bao Zheng in the past. Although he was the son of the eldest son, before his younger brother came to power, he had no title and no power, and he was not qualified to contact Bao Zheng, a scholar of Longtuge.
Now that he has some power, he has assumed the post of governor of Hangzhou, and only then did he realize that Bao Zheng, an 'upright official', really deserves his name.
With so much money, let alone him, it is estimated that even his father, the king of Runan County, can't treat it like dirt.
While flipping through the booklet, he calmed down, and then said: "Don't worry Bao Longtu, I will definitely do a good job in this matter, and I will definitely not let anyone steal a tael of silver."
"I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Zhao." Bao Zheng clasped his fists.
"polite."
Then I heard the guards outside chanting: "Really Lu is here."
Lu Sen didn't need to be notified when he came to the government office.
Both of them turned their heads together and saw Lu Sen walking in.
Lu Sen clasped his fists at the two of them and said with a smile, "Bao Longtu and Zong Chu have come to bother you."
"Brother-in-law, you can do whatever you want, so I won't entertain you." Zhao Zongchu saluted and said with a smile: "I have something urgent, I have to deal with it first."
He knew that Lu Sen had come to discuss matters with Bao Zheng, so he left very considerately.
Lu Sen nodded.
After Zhao Zongchu left the backyard, Lu Sen and Bao Zheng sat down in the gazebo.
Lu Sen took the initiative to ask: "I heard that Mr. Baofu is going north soon, do you need me to give you a ride? The kind that will be sent directly to the capital."
Bao Zheng shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, but the old man wants to go north by boat and sit and watch the scenery along the coast. Isn't it a beautiful thing?"
"Bao Fu Yin is elegant."
Bao Zheng glanced angrily, and then asked seriously: "How will Master Lu deal with the Beiliao matter?"
"Let's put it aside for now." Lu Sen thought for a while and said: "Yelu Hongji's heart is Sinology, and Liao's rebellion also yearns for the glory of my Great Song Dynasty. No matter who wins or loses, it will be my Great Song's benefit, so don't be impatient. "
"That's right, Master Lu has enough time to wait and get the result." Bao Zheng looked quite yearning: "I don't know that I, the veteran, will have the opportunity to see the beauty of the prosperous age when the Northern Liao Dynasty surrendered to the Song Dynasty and the homeland was returned."
Now it's Lu Sen's turn to be speechless: "Mr. Bao, you are not being sincere when you say this. Whether it is you, Grand Master Pang, or the king of Runan County, all of them are accompanied by spirit beasts, and they can live for another twenty or thirty years." There is no problem, why are you beating around the bush and putting on an air?"
Seeing that Lu Sen was not fooled, Bao Zheng looked quite helpless: "The sooner Beiliao descends to the Song Dynasty, the sooner the old man will feel at ease, otherwise he will always feel a little uneasy."
Lu Sen smiled and said, "That's easy."
Bao Zheng's eyes lit up.
Lu Sen continued: "Isn't it enough for Baofu Yin to return to the court and actively promote the Great Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition? Now that the Great Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass, it is really not difficult to deal with the weak Northern Liao Dynasty."
Bao Zheng sighed suddenly: "If there is a better way, why bother to go to war. Every battle, no matter the victory or defeat, is paved with the flesh and blood of the people of the Song Dynasty."
Lu Sen has a different opinion: "Actually, Song Dynasty has always been stronger than Xixia and Beiliao. It's just that your civil servants suppress military officials very hard, otherwise there would be so many troubles."
"What does Master Lu mean, that in the past when our army was defeated in the Song Dynasty, the civil servants had to bear the main responsibility?"
Lu Sen nodded.
If someone else said that, Bao Zheng would definitely call it 'ridiculous'.
But when Lu Sen said that, he had to take it seriously.
Bao Zheng was silent for a while, and said: "This is the legal system of the Taizu. ?: "My strength is less than one-tenth of what it was back then. I have stayed in Kunlun Mountains for thousands of years. I can't even count. How could I have a clue."
Lu Sen began to recall, from the time he crossed to the present, what is so strange!
The Queen Mother of the West continued: "If you have to talk about clues, it's not that there are no clues. You are also a person who is hidden by heaven's secrets."
"I?"
Queen Mother Xi nodded: "I've also tested your secrets and roots, but Luoshu didn't reveal it."
Lu Sen subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
The Queen Mother of the West leaned closer, her eyes burning: "I said before, you are neither a human nor a demon! So what the hell are you?"
"I'm human." Lu Sen said flatly, "I was born and raised by my parents. I remember where I came from, and I know where I'm going."
The Queen Mother of the West looked up to the sky and laughed, disdainful: "What is born is a human? Do you think that you are a human?"
"Is it up to Queen Mother Xi to decide whether I am human or not?" Lu Sen asked coldly.
At this time, Queen Mother Xi stopped smiling, and her expression softened: "Yes, I can't make a conclusion, I don't even know what I am."
Now Lu Sen was startled: "What's the meaning of your mother?"
"It is said in the world that Pangu created the world." The Queen Mother of the West recalled the past and stopped eating. She rested her chin with her hands, full of nostalgia: "We and the witch clan (ancient spirit demon) were all transformed from the feather insects on Father Pangu. At first I I also think so. But when I grow up and go to Kunlun Mountain to sleep At that time, it was not Kunlun Mountain, so I couldn¡¯t call Zhoushan Mountain. When I came out, I found that the world had changed, there were more human races in the world, and luck favored human race.¡±
Lu Sen became curious when he heard it, and took the initiative to take out a bottle of honey wine from the system backpack, poured it into the cup of Queen Mother Xi, and said, "Go on, I like to listen."
The Queen Mother of the West gave him an annoyed look, but looking at the fragrant honey wine, she took a sip from the cup and narrowed her eyes with joy, then said: "After the appearance of the human race, the fate of the witch race I gradually lost, and I felt that going on like this would be detrimental to our Wu Clan, so I expanded Buzhou Mountain, moved a lot of spiritual energy into it, and wanted to make it a place for the Wu Clan to recuperate. Unexpectedly, the Gonggong of your human race and Zhuanxu got into a fight , and knocked down most of Buzhou Mountain. My hard work was almost in vain. Later, I thought that the name of Buzhou Mountain was not very auspicious, so I called it Kunlun."
"So this is the origin of Kunlun Mountain!" Lu Sen suddenly realized.
"The human race is getting stronger and stronger, and our witch clan's territory is getting smaller and smaller." The Queen Mother of the West sighed: "Your human race is really powerful, and there are so many sages, and our witch race has to retreat into the 'cave' to avoid the edge. Originally The aura of heaven and earth is sufficient, and we can live well in the cave, but we never thought that the whale that was sealed by Emperor Yan would break away. At that time, I calculated that there was a catastrophe coming, so I came out once, only to find that the heaven and earth It¡¯s so evolved that I can¡¯t even recognize it!¡±
Lu Sen poured another glass of honey wine for Queen Mother Xi.
The Queen Mother of the West drank it all in one gulp: "At that time, I still had a lot of aura, and the aura of heaven and earth has not been exhausted to the point where it is now. As soon as I came out to the world, I felt that everything in the world was wrong, not the smell I was familiar with. Then I went everywhere Looking for the reason, many problems have been discovered in decades, and most importantly, I found that the Golden Crow is gone, and the big fireball hanging in the sky is far, far away from us."
Lu Sen raised his eyebrows.
Queen Mother Xi's expression became confused: "Then I thought, could it be that the Golden Crow turned into a ball of fire and flew high into the sky to find out, do you know what I saw?"
Lu Sen smiled faintly: "The earth is a sphere."
Queen Mother Xi showed an unbelievable expression. Her eyes staring at Lu Sen gradually widened, and finally stood up abruptly, pulling Lu Sen's skirt: "You know?"
Lu Sen nodded: "Of course I know!"
"You actually know?" Queen Mother Xi's expression became more astonished: "At that time, I couldn't believe it was true. I even took a few people out and flew to the sky to let them all see it. As a result, they could only see the square shape. The earth. Why can you see it and say you are a human race?"
Lu Sen didn't want to entangle her with this question, so he asked, "Is the land you saw before, is it square?"
"The sky is round and the earth is round!" The Queen Mother of the West nodded vigorously: "There are eight pillars supporting the sky, which is a piece of black air. When I was young, I made a mark at the foot of one of the pillars."
Having said that, her face turned slightly red.
Well, as a feline, at that time she had only animal nature, not human nature. It was not a very reasonable thing to urinate on the pillars and enclose a territory.
Lu Sen was also shocked at this time: "The world used to be a round sky, and then it gradually evolved into the current world, the current universe?"
The Queen Mother of the West loosened Lu Sen's skirt and sat down. This time, she snatched the honey wine from Lu Sen's hand and poured a glass for Lu Sen in turn: "Now it's time for you to tell me, what is the universe?"
ps: There is only one update tonight.
(End of this chapter)??Gradually evolved into the current world, the current universe? "
The Queen Mother of the West loosened Lu Sen's skirt and sat down. This time, she snatched the honey wine from Lu Sen's hand and poured a glass for Lu Sen in turn: "Now it's time for you to tell me, what is the universe?"
