Jin Chengjun followed Shen An to Bianliang. He will supervise the loan and weapons situation of the Song Dynasty.

Before leaving, Wang Hui said that you should keep your eyes open during this trip, and you must not be deceived by the Song Dynasty people.

Okay, so he kept an eye on the movements of Bianliang Imperial City every day, waiting for the news to start lending and trading.

But the imperial city was very busy. When he asked, he found out that they were discussing how to give money.

This is a good thing!

Jin Chengjun was happy and went to Yulin Lane.

"aunt!"

In the Shen family, Maodou was running staggeringly. Guoguo was waiting for him in front. After he ran over, she picked him up and said, "Maodou, you are so heavy!"

"It's not heavy!" Maodou could speak very fluently now, but his vocabulary was obviously insufficient.

"elder brother!"

Shen An came out and looked lazy.

"Mr. Lang, that man said he was an envoy from Korea."

Zhuang Laoshi had a flattering look on his face, and when Shen An saw it, he sighed: "Can't you... be more righteous? Look at what you look like... flattering and embarrassing."

"The righteousness is awe-inspiring..." Zhuang Laoshi squeezed, and then asked: "Lang Jun, is this possible?"

His eyes looked righteous, but his facial features together were still flattering.

Shen An was very melancholy, "It's even more vulgar."

Well!

Zhuang Laoshi was very confused, "Actually, I used to be an upright man, but... I just met Zaifu too much at home. Later, after you became the Duke of the country, I felt that you were serving Zaifu. , I am becoming more and more cautious, and I can’t change this if I don’t...change it.”

"Nonsense!" Shen An felt that this guy was just showing his loyalty. He wished that all his children and grandchildren would follow the Shen family.

"Let him in."

Shen An was standing in the yard. Zhuang Laoshi thought he was going to greet him, so he was more cautious.

"Your Majesty, please."

Zhuang Laoshi looked very serious, and Shen An unexpectedly discovered that this was his righteous and awe-inspiring state.

Everyone has several faces, one for his family, one for his subordinates, one for his superiors...

They are all fickle!

Zhuang Laoshi led Jin Chengjun over and was about to introduce him according to the rules when he saw Jin Chengjun bowing and said, "I have met the Duke."

This is wrong!

Zhuang Laoshi was a little confused, thinking how could any messenger bow to someone?

Yes, that is for the emperor.

For example, when Jin Chengjun meets Zhao Shu, it is inevitable to salute.

But this is just Shen An!

What kind of bow does he make?

Shen An said calmly: "If you don't stay in the post house, what are you doing here?"

Why does this sound like a superior officer asking a subordinate? When Zhuang Laoshi heard this, he felt something was even more wrong.

Jin Chengjun raised his head with a smile on his face, "My lord, didn't I want to get the loan done as soon as possible, and then go back to pay the errand. Just looking at the prosperity of Bianliang, I feel very reluctant to leave it, and only want to have children and grandchildren." We all live here, even if it’s just guarding the city gate!”

This is wrong!

Zhuang Laoshi glanced at Shen An, and when he saw his calm expression, he knew that this matter was not simple.

"Just wait. Someone will naturally take you to see the weapons later. Just play."

These words were like coaxing a child, but Jin Chengjun actually agreed. Then he complimented Shen An and went out satisfied.

"Lang Jun, why does this man... seem to be afraid of you?" Zhuang Laoshi has been a housekeeper for many years, so he still has good eyesight.

"It's just rape."

Rape?

Zhuang Laoshi couldn't help but marvel, this messenger was turned into a spy by Lang Jun?

Naturally, Jin Chengjun didn't think he was a treacherous person. After leaving the Shen family, he went all the way to the imperial city. According to the rules, he went to the political hall to meet the prime ministers and asked him about weapons.

When Han Qi heard that he was coming, he smiled and said: "Anbei's spies are perfect. Whether it's Jiaozhi or Goryeo, he has never failed. I think... Xiren, when he gets older, he might as well take charge of the emperor." Cheng Si is also good!"

Not all those in charge of the Imperial City Division are chamberlains, but the one in charge must be a chamberlain, which represents the attributes of the Imperial City Division: the emperor's domestic servant.

Bao Zheng glanced at him and said, "If Prime Minister Han is willing to take the lead, that's okay."

Does anyone know that Han Qi looks like this when he becomes the Imperial City Secretary?

Zeng Gongliang couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Fu Bi also smiled.

I can’t help but laugh!

Han Qi said with a dark face: "Why are you laughing?"

Bao Zheng, the only one who didn't smile, said: "Xiang Han is a tall man. If he leads a team of spies, no one will be able to detect him."

Han Qi held his belly and smiled.

Such a big goal is still hidden.

Later, Jin Chengjun came, and the two sides exchanged a few casual words. Han Qi explained: "The Song Dynasty needs to mobilize two million weapons. Your envoy will just wait."

"yes."

Jin Chengjun left, and after he left, Han Qi smiled and said, "It's really interesting that the loan turned into selling weapons."

"A certain person is interested in Shen An's methods." Fu Bi has been thinking about Shen An's methods these days.

"My dear sirs, the officials have summoned you."

Han Qi and others entered the palace all the way to Chui Gong Hall.

Zhao Shu looked at it with an angry look on his face, "The secret of the artillery has been discovered!"

"What?" Han Qi was dumbfounded when he heard it, "Your Majesty, the artillery... wasn't it built in Izumo-kan? How did it get discovered?"

After the artillery appeared, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were disapproving at first, but were shocked later. By the time the news of the great power of artillery during the Northern Expedition came, this thing was already regarded by the monarchs and ministers as a weapon for the country.

Naturally, such sharp weapons cannot be shown to others, so there are many spies outside Izumo Temple, specifically keeping an eye on the people waiting.

Under such circumstances, the secret was leaked. Who did it?

Zhao Shu pounded the chair, "Those thieves actually intercepted and killed the person who sent the drawings, and then fled far away. The secret agents of the Imperial City Division found out too late!"

"Your Majesty!" Han Qi felt something was wrong, "What kind of drawings?"

The artillery is all made in Izumo-kan, where did the blueprints come from?

Zhao Shu sighed: "This is my fault. There are too many things to do in Izumo-gwan. Someone suggested building an artillery workshop in the capital. I agreed, so Izumo-gwan compiled the blueprints for building artillery and sent them as a gift. When I arrived at the workshop, I was intercepted and killed on the way."

There are indeed many things going on in Izumo Temple. According to She Hui, Izumo Temple wants to find the ultimate secret of steel, use various formulas to explore the way of nature, and finally find the toughest steel.

Making artillery is not easy either. You have to cast it, which requires a lot of space. Naturally, She Hui doesn't have the patience to do it. When Zhao Shu said this and Shen An agreed, Izumo Temple was extremely cooperative, as if he had raised a rebellious son and had someone take over.

But the drawing was intercepted by someone. Needless to say, it must be a good thing caused by external forces.

"Your Majesty, if the enemy gets the artillery, I will think it is... terrible!" Han Qi thought for a while, with a rare look of fear on his face, "That artillery can travel a long way and be indestructible. The swordsman and axemen that the Song Dynasty relied on encountered the artillery. , when the iron bullet comes, who can stop it?"

Everyone present had seen live artillery fire, and following Han Qi's words, they couldn't help but think of that scene.

——The two sides formed an array, with the sword and axemen of the Song Dynasty at the forefront. Their thick armor shone in the sun, and their swords and axes were so sharp that they made the enemy afraid.

The army relied on swordsmen to protect their array, but at this moment, the enemy launched artillery, and the two sides began to bombard each other.

The iron bullets fired by the enemy's artillery rushed over. The swordsmen who could withstand the enemy's impact in the past were knocked down one after another, and blood filled the air...

"Can't lose it!" Zhao Shu said angrily: "Ask Shen An, if the Liao people took away the blueprint, could they build artillery?"

The matter was serious and Chen Zhongheng took action personally.

With a whoosh, the people in the palace couldn't help but exclaimed: "Chen Douzhi is so fast!"

Chen Zhongheng’s speed reappears.

"Get out of the way!"

This time he didn't worry about any pedestrians. After leaving the palace, he hit the horse and galloped.

Bianliang has not seen such a situation for many years. Someone was yelling and cursing. When they saw Chen Zhongheng with an anxious look on his face, they couldn't help but be frightened.

"Is this the death of the official family?"

"Maybe, otherwise who would dare to fight horses in Bianliang?"

"Not necessarily! When an official dies, the palace bell will ring."

"That means you are seriously ill."

"Why!"

"The official is a good official. Although he is not as kind as the late emperor, he has brought us the most benefits."

"Well, let's go and pray."

A group of people prayed devoutly in front of the palace gate.

Chen Zhongheng arrived all the way to Shen's house and said in a hurry: "Hurry, the officials have summoned me. It's urgent."

Shen An was teasing Maodou and left without changing his clothes after hearing this.

"Daddy..." Maodou behind him couldn't help crying when he saw his father gone.

Shen An turned around reluctantly when he heard the cry, "Daddy will be back soon."

Maodou choked, "Coax people!"

"You are a puppy!"

Well, these words successfully comforted Maodou.

But Guoguo muttered a little guilty, "Sister-in-law, my brother coaxed me like this back then, and he never turned into a puppy."

Yang Zhuoxue couldn't help but laugh, and then said quietly: "Your brother is the best at coaxing people."

Shen An entered the palace all the way and already learned about the incident on the way. When he saw Zhao Shu, he said angrily: "Your Majesty, how dare I ask who took the drawings?"

"Two people." Zhao Shu is so shameless!

This matter was handled by the Privy Council, and they actually assigned two small officials to do it. This was so arrogant that people were speechless.

"Two people..." Shen An wanted to kill someone, "Your Majesty, that is an important weapon for the country, and you sent two people to get the blueprints? Can you be more negligent?"

Han Qi said in a deep voice: "I've already gone to call Wen Yanbo."

Wen Yanbo came later. After hearing this, even though he was called Wen Chunyu, his color still changed.

"He was intercepted and killed?"

Wen Yanbo knew this was troublesome.

"Whose idea was it?" Han Qi said angrily: "Find him and beat him!"

Wen Yanbo thought for a while, "It's Deputy Chengzhi Yang Biao."

"Dismissed from office, sent to jail!"

Zhao Shu's words were cold. If possible, he would even want to kill Yang Biao. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

But as an emperor, he must act in accordance with the law, otherwise his ministers will advise and then criticize him.

"I...can't escape the blame."

Wen Yanbo knelt down, "But I just want to know at this moment, if someone from outside the vassal gets the blueprint, can they build it according to it?"

This is the issue that everyone is most concerned about.

Only Shen An can answer this question.

"There are all kinds of detailed data on the drawings." Shen An thought for a while, "If the Liao people get it, it will probably take a year or two to build it, but I am not afraid of this. I am afraid of the farther places. "

"Big food?" A bright light flashed in Zhao Shu's eyes.

"Dashi now has an enemy, the Turks, called Seljuks." Shen An has never regarded the Liao people as the ultimate enemy. "Dashi has declined, but the Seljuks cannot be underestimated. If they By chance, I got the method to build the artillery, and I will be in trouble in the future.”

"Is it just trouble?" Han Qi felt that Shen An's words were too understatement.

Shen An said calmly: "There are many projects under study in Mangshan Academy, such as firecrackers and lighter artillery, and the steel of Izumo Temple is the most critical. If it can be produced, the bronze artillery will be eliminated .”

"In other words, bronze cannons will be nothing in the future?"

Shen An nodded, "In front of miscellaneous students, the threat of bronze artillery is limited, but it is always a threat."

Full of confidence!

Shen An's confidence infected the emperor and his ministers, Zhao Shu said: "My heart has been on edge, but now I feel more relaxed."

"But Your Majesty, I am worried that the bronze cannon will enlighten those people, and then they will come up with something more powerful."

Where there is a need, there is an invention. In this era, this is the truth.

So the drawings must be returned!
