A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,456 Shen Kuo was almost chopped into pieces with a knife

Shen An was dragged into the palace.

"At a party?"

Zhao Shu seemed to be in a very stable mood.

Shen An held back a wine burp and said, "Yes, I have a rest today. I made hot pot at home and drank with them."

Zhao Shu said calmly: "I drank a lot, so I must have had a lot of diarrhea."

Well!

This question is so embarrassing!

Shen An laughed dryly.

"What's the point of the method you gave Erlang?"

Zhao Shu thought for a long time, and even mobilized Chen Zhongheng to think together.

Look at the look of despair on Chen Zhongheng's face. It's obvious that he is overusing his brain.

"That's simple!" Shen An said calmly: "Your Majesty, the human body is a magical place. You can eat, drink, poop, eat rice, soup cakes, meat and vegetables, and poop out... Many things have been modified by the human body, such as Talking about peeing, it contains..."

Shen An raised his head, "These things were absorbed by the soil and slowly separated out. Looking at the white layer..."

very disgusting!

Chen Zhongheng felt that his dinner would probably be saved.

"For example, for example, there is a barren land in Zhengzhou, which is saline-alkali land. No crops can grow, but some salt-alkali tolerant vegetables grow. That piece of land looks like a vast expanse of white, covered with saltpeter. After the soil is melted and dried, you can get saltpeter..."

"In the official family, many things seem magical, but in fact they have a reason."

Shen An could mythologize these things, but the result would be that he would be unable to practice miscellaneous studies.

Zhao Shu knew that gunpowder was powerful, but he never knew that the process of making gunpowder and making salt would be so cumbersome.

"Are these all miscellaneous subjects?"

"yes."

Zhao Shu was silent.

After a long time, he said: "This matter must not be known to outsiders."

"Only the minister and the two kings know about this matter."

Shen An glanced at Chen Zhongheng and thought, Old Chen, you also know, what a good thing!

If there is another explosion in the palace one day, you and Zhang have been on the suspect list for eight years, so let's show off.

Zhao Shu glanced at Chen Zhongheng and said, "You can go on your own."

As soon as Shen An left, Zhao Shu invited Zhao Xu again.

Zhao Xu had just been complained by Gao Taotao and forced him to drink hangover soup. He looked better now.

But when he opened his mouth, a strong smell of alcohol came out.

Zhe Kexing is killing people!

Originally, everyone wanted to drink light wine, but Katsuyuki found strong liquor as soon as he came. It was better to drink this when the weather was cold.

That's good, but it's a little embarrassing at the moment.

"You haven't sobered up yet?"

Zhao Shu frowned slightly.

"I'm not drunk."

Zhao Xu's answer was very cunning.

This shows that I am really not drunk.

Zhao Shu asked: "What do you think of miscellaneous studies?"

"It is very beneficial to the country and the people."

Zhao Shu snorted coldly, "I know."

This is a business-to-business conversation.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Shen An gave Erlang this method of making gunpowder. In fact, he revealed his true feelings."

"Yes." Zhao Shu said with his hands behind his back: "He is telling me that he can easily make gunpowder to attack cities, conquer territories and kill people, but he taught my son that this is magnanimity. If my ministers are magnanimous, I will naturally I won’t be suspicious, but is there such knowledge in miscellaneous studies?”

Today you dig out gunpowder from the manure pit, but tomorrow you will pull out a golden phoenix from the henhouse?

What about the day after tomorrow?

Zhao Shu had a sense of crisis, feeling that such a miscellaneous student would lose control sooner or later.

Zhao Xu said seriously: "Dad, there is a lot of shocking knowledge in miscellaneous studies."

He used the title daddy to vouch for his status as a son.

Zhao Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, then he hesitated, and finally reached out to touch the top of his head.

Zhao Xu is now taller than him, so this action of touching the top of his head seems particularly uncoordinated.

Zhao Xu subconsciously bent his knees and let his father touch it smoothly.

"I see."

Zhao Xu resigned, and after he left, Zhao Shu suddenly laughed, "That Shen An! He is telling me that he is too good at miscellaneous studies. You'd better leave your son to the academy to keep an eye on him, so as not to cause trouble one day. I don’t even know what’s going on.”

Chen Zhongheng said in surprise: "Didn't the second king want to go to the academy, but the saint wouldn't allow it? Then Shen An..."

Did his good friend do this to help the second king break away from the shackles of the palace?

"It was just incidental."

Zhao Shu said calmly: "How could that kid risk taking action for Erlang? His real purpose is to tell me that we should pay attention to miscellaneous studies."

"Audacity!"

Zhao Shu's comments shocked Chen Zhongheng.

Immediately, Zhao Shu's decision spread.

"It is said that the second king has grown up and can enter and leave the imperial city in the future."

Han Qi said very tangledly: "The two kings have nothing to do all day long. It is fine to go to the academy to hang out, but what is the meaning of the official family cherishing it?"

Everyone shook their heads and immediately began to deal with political affairs.

Later, someone came to report the news, "My dear sirs, the official family has taken out five thousand guan from the inner treasury, saying it is given to Mang Shan Na Academy for student aid."

Han Qi put aside his fault and hissed softly, "This is wrong!"

Zeng Gongliang tapped his finger on the table, "The second king went to the academy and then gave him money. Did Shen An make another great contribution?"

He looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng shook his head, "I don't know."

Damn it, what the hell did you do?

Bao Zheng swore that if Shen An caused trouble again, he would slap him back.

Ouyang Xiu sighed and said with a sense of superiority: "The palace is about to explode!"

No one else has this ability to associate.

As soon as Han Qi's eyes lit up, he used a little more strength, and ended up pulling off two beards, which made his eyebrows jump in pain.

"What Shen An made!"

He said categorically: "This must be Shen An's fault!"

"The saint is stubborn. Since he said that the two kings are not allowed to go to the academy, how can he go back on his words?"

Han Qi was like an official who solved cases like a god, and said confidently: "Also, the government will never allocate money to Mangshan Academy, otherwise it will easily cause disputes. The last time the war horse was given to the Imperial Academy, it was also given to the Imperial Academy. Yes, but now the money is only given to Mangshan Academy, haha!"

If there is nothing fishy here, he writes the Korean characters backwards!

But why?

Not knowing this clearly, Han Qi felt uneasy.

He looked at Bao Zheng, "Isn't something wrong with Xiren?"

Bao Zheng stood up and said, "I need to go out for something."

"go Go."

After Bao Zheng went out, Han Qi said proudly: "I bet that Shen An will be in trouble."

Bao Zheng went to Shen's house together, and Shen An was discussing the academy with Wang Yu.

"What happened to the explosion that night?"

Bao Zheng's question was straight to the point, with a bad look.

Shen An didn't dare to hide it, "I just used some things in the palace to make gunpowder."

Bao Zheng took a deep breath, "Is it possible to control it?"

Shen An nodded, "Yes."

Just control the latrines, plus control the sulfur. As for charcoal, you can get whatever you want.

If he couldn't, Shen An felt that he wouldn't be able to survive today, and Lao Bao would definitely chase him to the end of the world.

Bao Zheng nodded, then turned and left.

The old man is so resolute!

"Even I am afraid of your methods." Wang Yu shook his head and sighed, "You don't seem to be smart, and you are always very direct in doing things. But if anyone thinks that this is your method, they will suffer a loss if they encounter you."

"hehe!"

Shen An took a sip of tea and tasted it happily.

He still doesn't like drinking tea powder and feels uncomfortable.

Fried tea is very good to drink. When you get older, you can add some wolfberry or something.

Why!

My childhood was so nourishing!

The atmosphere in the academy is very good, but some people have criticized the fact that academy students can make gunpowder, fearing that the gunpowder formula will be stolen.

There were also vague voices from the military about this matter. It was probably that the gunpowder matter could be placed under the control of the military, and the Imperial City Department was also fine. In a word, it was not suitable for the seemingly loose academy.

That's why Wang Yu asked those students to keep the noise down.

hehe!

Now Shen An took the opportunity of Zhao Hao's leaving the palace and Zhao Shu's two decisions to slap those people twice.

Do you want to weaken the academy?

Come on, try it.

The second prince hangs out in the academy, and the government allocates money to the academy saying it is to help students.

Come, you try impeachment again.

Are these two slaps comfortable?

Shen An was in a good mood and ordered: "Um...five-five!"

Zhao Wuwu came in and frowned slightly.

Can we not mention the name Wuwu?

"I asked Ermei to make some sausages and bacon for dinner. Remember not to fry them, so I washed them, steamed them, and then sliced them."

This is such a great meal!

Shen An was drooling a little.

So the main course of the evening was two large plates of cured meats and sausages.

"It's delicious." Guoguo exercises every day and has a great appetite.

I couldn't eat too much taro. After eating two slices of mostly fat bacon, I took advantage of the opportunity of my father and my mother to talk, stole a piece of sausage from my aunt's bowl, and quickly stuffed it into my mouth while no one was paying attention. , then shut up and chew slowly.

Dad said that children shouldn't eat too much pickled food, but look at him, he eats more than anyone else.

All adults are indeed liars.

After dinner, Shen An went to take care of his fishing gear.

As the most promising dignitary in the Song Dynasty, Shen An's future is limitless.

But in his opinion, no matter how much power he has, it is not as good as finding a place to squat and fish.

There is a lot of water in Bianliang, but Shen An has fished in many places, and still feels that Jinmingchi is the best.

He set out at dawn the next day.

Ever since the arrival of Li Baojiu, Wen Xiaozhong was not willing to follow Shen An. He only served Guoguo attentively when he was about to go out.

"Brother, let's go buy some fabrics for taro and edamame, and we'll buy them for you too."

Guoguo waved energetically, and Shen An smiled and gave a few instructions.

Look at Wen Xiaozhong, that look, tsk tsk! Really...

Wen Xiaozhong looked at both sides of the alley warily, as if Guoguo was an emperor and could not ignore it for a moment.

But it wasn't like this when he followed Shen An.

"let's go."

When Shen An took Li Baojiu out of Yulin Alley, Li Baojiu was still gnawing on a leg of lamb in his hand.

The old Shen family is not short of money. It doesn't matter if they want to eat mutton or beef!

What ban are you talking about? Are they bans on the common people?

When did the dignitaries in Bianliang City eat less beef?

There are fewer people in Bianliang City now, and there are dung trucks moving slowly.

The smell was stronger. Shen An led the horse to the side, but Li Baojiu was still chewing on the leg of lamb.

He’s just a foodie!

The two big men in the dung truck were muttering.

"Can you still handle the feces and urine in this palace?"

"Take it! Didn't they say it would take a few days?"

"A few days of rest. This person has to have diarrhea every time he eats or drinks. What if he is full after a few days of rest? Could it be that those noble people... Hey, I feel sick just talking about it."

"The man said earlier that when we go into the palace to scoop up excrement, someone should be watching us. We are deploying manpower these days. It will be done in a few days."

"Hey, isn't it just scooping manure? Why do you do so many things?"

Shen An was stunned beside him. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

Co-author Zhao Shu responded immediately!

All latrines in the palace are cleaned under supervision. Is this his method?

There was a strange smile on Shen An's face.

After arriving at Jinming Pond, he put down the fishing rod, then slowly took out two dishes from the food box he brought, and took out the cooking cakes, and ate them slowly.

These days are so comfortable!

As the main force of the navy moved outside, Jinmingchi was actually a place for training, and the control was gradually relaxed. Many people come to fish in spring and summer.

The weather is nice today, there is no wind, and the weather is slightly warm due to the sun, which is perfect for outdoor activities.

Slowly, there were a few more people around who came to fish.

Someone was also fishing on the side. This guy caught a fish and took out a knife. Li Baojiu immediately pounced on him, kicked the guy into the water with one kick, and then drew his knife and was about to attack.

"Wait!"

Shen An stopped him, then quickly stretched out his fishing rod and pulled the man up.

"X...X just wants to eat fish meat!"

The man, who was in his thirties, said angrily: "Why did you kick someone off?"

A navy sergeant came over there and said when he saw this, "This is Duke Shen's face, Commander Shen, and you actually drew your sword on the spot!"

Well!

Your surname is Shen?

Home door!

Shen An smiled and said: "A certain Shen An."

The man was startled, then said excitedly: "Are you Duke Shen?"

It’s really inconvenient for me to have such a famous reputation!

Look at those fishing people, they all stood up and handed over their hands.
