Fish swimming around the world

Shi Gan was a very patient person. Since he had achieved his initial goal in disguise, he simply settled down and studied in the dungeon. This quiet environment made him feel very comfortable.

Later, Jiang Fan discovered his talent. After discussing with the old star, he sealed his cultivation and threw him into the study to help the old star. Jiang Fan meant that such talents should not be wasted, and only such people could develop their knowledge, but he was also afraid that Shi Gan would turn against him, especially since he had been to many countries and had helped the emperor, so he ordered the old star to keep a close watch on him and never let him leave the study without his permission.

But soon, Jiang Fan realized that he had thought too much and that he had no intention of coming out at all.

The knowledge in the study made him fascinated and felt that he could never finish studying it in his lifetime. He once said that he was ready to die here.

Finally, after long-term observation by Old Star Lord, Nangong Wan'er and others, they completely agreed that this person was a natural scholar, and finally put their minds at ease. However, they still did not let him leave the Mortal Residence, nor did they restore his cultivation.

Shi Gan did not care, and spent the whole day in the study. In order to study astronomy, he derived many useful inventions, such as making a higher-power telescope, making a magnifying glass, remaking the surveying instrument gnomon, improving the Si Nan, etc., and of course, he also invented the favorite of Prince Jiang, beer.

So far, his terrifying talent for invention has been fully revealed, even not inferior to Gongshu Ban, the ancestor of the Gongshu family. The two often discussed with each other, verified each other, and inspired each other. So much so that many new technologies in Mount Li have his contribution.

Of course, for him, these inventions are side jobs, and they are always for the purpose of supporting astronomy. Unfortunately, Mr. Jiang is a Zhou Ba Pi. Since he has discovered talents, he must let him make more contributions. Therefore, he has to follow the concept of Mortal Residence and earn his living expenses by inventing and creating. Of course, he also received a good salary.

But things became interesting. Shangguan Wan'er inexplicably found that she fell in love with astronomy and worshipped the old star god as her teacher. After long-term contact and working together, Shi Gan soon discovered that Shangguan Wan'er was very talented. He thought that she should not be bothered by worldly things and kept urging her to study hard.

The problem is that, like him, Shangguan Wan'er's study is only a sideline. She essentially prefers to hold power and make plans.

But these similarities and differences attracted Shi Gan more and more. So, Shi Gan was moved. Scholars like him are basically straight men. They confessed to others without getting a response, so they plunged into learning and almost forgot about it. Fortunately, Lin Nanyan was smart. Driven by her trouble-making personality, she quietly gave Shi Gan some advice and asked him to make something interesting to attract people's attention.

However, this gift was directly favored by Mr. Jiang.

It's nothing, Shi Gan, this straight man, has a wild imagination, and actually created a periscope for the purpose of peeping.

This is too much, the great prince Jiang directly snatched Shangguan Wan'er away before she even had time to warm up.

Seeing that the master liked this thing so much, Shangguan Wan'er unexpectedly became interested in this guy. As they got to know each other more and more, his crazy scholar temperament actually attracted Shangguan the chief steward, and the two of them - sparks flew.

Not daring to hide it, Shangguan Wan'er reported the matter to the master soon. Jiang Fan did not object at all, but he also wanted to have a deeper exchange with him. If there was no problem, Fanrenju would certainly welcome him to move in as a free man.

Unfortunately, seeing this situation as soon as he came in, the great prince Jiang simply gave up his thoughts and let him develop.

However, there was a little gain after all, and he found the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi Gongfa that was thrown in the corner and forced by the old star to spare time to write.

After coming out, I felt that everyone else was doing things, but I felt a little empty for no reason. Suddenly, I felt that being busy and enjoying myself like Shi Gan and the others seemed... much happier than doing nothing?

But he shook his head and threw this bad idea out of his head in an instant. People are born to enjoy themselves!

Unfortunately, he has no companion. So many people are not here, and Mr. Jiang is also very bored. He is thinking about where to go for a stroll, or go shopping, when suddenly two more unexpected people appear.

Bai Shigong, Lin Zhaoji.

That's right, Bai Shigong, the national teacher of Jin State, came to visit with Lin Zhaoji, the most talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After being surprised for a while, Jiang Fan realized that these two came because of the Qin-Jin alliance.

The person in charge of the alliance was Nangong Xin, the Marquis of Donglin. Under his auspices, the very prestigious Bai Shigong came to represent Jin State to sign a formal alliance.

And Lin Zhaoji was the accompanying secretary.

Jiang Fan muttered a little, sending her? It seemed a bit deliberate, I don't know if it was Sima Ji or Nangong Xin who was making trouble.

But they were guests from afar, and Jiang Fan was the initiator of the Qin-Jin alliance, so it was completely reasonable for them to visit.

It happened to be boring, so Jiang Fan very happily invited them to have a meal at the pavilion in the center of the lake.

After the others left, Bai Shigong looked at him with a complicated expression and sighed.

"Alas - it's really hard to predict the world..."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly and poured tea for the two of them personally: "The biggest constant in the world is that it has been changing all the time, so why do you need to sigh."

Bai Shigong agreed with it and sighed: "Thinking back to the time when the prince entered Jin alone, he forcibly overturned the king's decision, pushed the second prince to be the king, and stirred up the situation alone, causing chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I once wanted to get rid of the prince and then quickly..."

"It's not your fault." Jiang Fan didn't care.

"No matter who it is, they don't have good intentions towards those who interfere in their own internal affairs. The national teacher is honest."

Bai Shigong's expression was complicated: "After that, the prince entered southern Shanxi again, fished in troubled waters, took advantage of the situation, and did many things. Unfortunately, I was called the Jin State Master in vain. I can't understand many of the prince's actions."

Jiang Fan smiled. No wonder he couldn't understand the second time, because many things had nothing to do with the Jin Kingdom itself.

"But it finally helped our Jin country a lot. Entering Jin twice seems to have finally laid the foundation for the alliance between Qin and Jin."

He said, staring at Jiang Fan: "Could it be that... the prince has been preparing for an alliance from the beginning?"

When he said this, Lin Zhaoji, who had been silently drinking tea, looked surprised, and couldn't help but put down her tea cup and listen attentively.

Jiang Fan chuckled: "There are so many people who plan ahead and strategize. Many things are just coincidences."

But Duke Baishi shook his head: "No. The prince once said that the second prince is good at business, and it is easier for such people to negotiate cooperation. Therefore, the prince promoted the second prince to come to power. Later, the prince cooperated with the second prince to manage the war, and now the prince has an overview of military affairs. , the power is unified. The prince also persuaded Wen Qiu and Yan Sheng to secretly help our lord Yi Wenwei. Now, although our Jin country has lost some territory, the whole country has united and the national power has not declined, but the king is more willing to cooperate with your highness. . After that, the prince showed extraordinary means to maneuver around, letting the king see his strength and further promoting the idea of ​​cooperation. In the end, the prince personally visited Jin and took advantage of the situation, and finally decided on a big game..."
