Chapter 1,705 The No. 1 Loyal Minister of the Dynasty

"It's Marquis Chang Jun!"

When they saw the skinny general, the merchants cheered.

"This is the most powerful general in the navy. When he was in Jiaozhi, he led the army to attack Shenglong City and cursed the Emperor of Jiaozhi."

"He is actually leading the team this time. Is there something wrong with this?"

A businessman muttered: "It's just going out to sea for trade, why is there any need for Chang Junhou to come?"

Chang Jianren went ashore, exchanged a few words with Su Yan, and then followed him to the Shibo Division.

Both of them were from Shen An, and gradually became less and less unfamiliar.

"Before the navy set out, Shen Longtu said that the purpose of going to sea this time was mainly for cannibalism."

Chang Jianren's mouse eyes were full of sternness, "The sea is the sea of ​​the Song Dynasty. Da Shiren has been a coachman in the middle for many years and has made a lot of money. This situation should change."

"The teacher wrote a letter to a certain person." Su Yan said with a smile: "The teacher said that the current great enemy of the Song Dynasty is the Liao people, and then the Song Dynasty should turn its attention to the sea. The population of the Song Dynasty will continue to grow, and the land and various regions in the country will All kinds of resources are not enough, but there is fertile soil everywhere overseas..."

"At that time, we will have to immigrate overseas." As soon as Chang Jianren said these words, Su Yan laughed: "These are words that a teacher who is not one of us would not say."

Chang Jianren said gratefully: "Shen Longtu taught me a lot about overseas things. If not, I wouldn't have been able to do this in just a few years."

Now that he is leading the main force of the navy southward as Du Yuhou, this is a signal.

"Could it be that you are going to take over the navy?" Su Yan cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations on that."

Chang Jianren shook his head, "It's probably enough to come back this time."

Leading the army alone this time is an opportunity to prove himself. Chang Jianren stood up and said: "There is another good thing, do you want to see it?"

"What good stuff?" Su Yan asked, "Is it a specialty of Bianliang?"

"No, it's a specialty of the navy."

Later, several warships carried Chang Jianren and Su Yan out to sea.

All the way to a deserted place, Chang Jianren still sent warships to cruise in the distance to intercept ships that might appear.

"Such caution makes me look forward to it even more."

Su Yan stood at the bow of the ship, and Chang Jianren was commanding from the left front.

"let's start."

Following the order, a warship in front suddenly came forward, and then a small boat was towed to its side. After untying the rope, it was left standing alone.

"This is the newest warship of the navy." Chang Jianren smiled, "Shen Longtu spent a lot of effort on this ship. The shipyards of the navy were scolded by him so much that they couldn't hold their heads up. After several changes, this was Come out."

"This ship doesn't look special!"

Su Yan looked carefully and saw that there was no difference between the warship and the one he was riding on.

Chang Jianren smiled and said: "The fleet will set off soon, and this ship must be tried before departure, so you are lucky."

Hearing what he said was so mysterious, Su Yan's curiosity was raised to the highest point.

Several holes suddenly opened on the side of the warship, and then several thick pipes were pushed out.

"what is that?"

Su Yan has been in Hangzhou for a long time and does not know the current changes in the army.

"artillery!"

Chang Jianren's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"what for?"

As soon as Su Yan finished speaking, he heard a thunderous roar.

Smoke came out of the four openings on the side, and several black spots rushed out.

The black spot moved forward and finally landed around the small boat, causing countless splashes.

"Turn."

The warship began to turn, turning the other side.

There was still smoke and roar, and then four black dots flew out.

This time the boat was not so lucky. It was hit by a black point, and sawdust flew everywhere...

"Come again!" Chang Jianren said dissatisfied: "The hit rate is too bad!"

A general on the side explained: "Marquis, my brothers have not practiced all the way, and some of their hands are raw."

"If we encounter an enemy ship, will we be able to do anything?"

Chang Jianren was angry, and the pressure spread.

The subsequent two rounds of strikes were very precise, with two hits out of eight.

"It's pretty good at this distance. If we get closer and fight, we can kill the ship in one round!"

The boat turned into pieces and gradually dissipated.

"Shen Longtu asked us to take this warship out for a test. It's best to proactively seek the cannibal to start a war."

Chang Jianren couldn't help laughing when he thought of Shen An's appearance when he said this, "If it's good, the navy will change it to this kind of warship in the future."

Su Yan asked: "What is the cannon made of?"

"copper."

Su Yan was startled, "That's not cheap."

"Yes!" Chang Jianren sighed: "As the imperial edict has said, if the navy wants to replace these artillery warships, they will have to go out to make money. I just thought that Jiaozhi is gone, and the Goryeo side is poor and has the most wealth. The money is from Dashi’s side.”

This was said calmly, but Su Yan knew that what was about to come would be bloody.

The big cannibal is in trouble.

"The sea from now on will be the sea of ​​the Song Dynasty."

Chang Jianren said confidently: "There are mines and fertile fields overseas. Those people in the Song Dynasty who had no land to farm could go out as much as they could. The navy would escort them all the way to new places, cultivate fields and dig out ore. The Song Dynasty... …will become stronger and stronger!”

Su Yan nodded, "I have no doubt about this!"

…

In Bianliang in autumn, the fallen leaves are flying, and in the Shen family, Taro is reading.

He looked at the fallen leaves outside the window and suddenly asked: "Aunt, is daddy coming back?"

Guo Guo glared and said, "Concentrate on studying."

"oh!"

Taro lowered his head to read, but remembered the words that his father would come back when the autumn leaves fell.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, "Aunt, it's time for dad to come back."

Guoguo put her chin in her hands and said angrily: "Do you have clairvoyance?"

"Yes!" Taro made a face.

"Mr. Lang is back!" Zhuang Laoshi's shout came from outside.

With a swish, the taro disappeared.

"Slow down!"

Guoguo also followed out happily.

Before reaching the front yard, Shen An, who was tired of the journey, came in. He picked up the taro and nodded to Yang Zhuoxue and Guoguo who came after hearing the news. "My husband has to enter the palace immediately. This is from the Liao Kingdom." What you got, put it away.”

"Edamame!" He put down the taro and picked up the reluctant edamame, "Do you miss daddy?"

Yang Zhuoxue took the baggage and complained: "The whole family just wants you to come back safely! Gifts and other things... ugh!"

She unpacked the bag and couldn't take her eyes off it.

"Wow……"

There were dozens of large pearls scattered in the baggage.

Attention, it is a big pearl.

In an era before artificial breeding, pearls were treasures.

The rich and powerful in Bianliang are proud to own pearl bracelets and necklaces. Others can snicker if they can have a pearl inlaid in their hairpin.

Yang Zhuoxue has seen some pearl jewelry of noble ladies, but the size is really incomparable.

If those people's pearls are children, then these dozens of big pearls are giants.

She asked in surprise: "My lord, is this a treasure only found in the palace?"

"Yes, it's from the palace." Shen Ande hurried away, "You and Guoguo can do whatever you like with this thing."

"This kind of treasure should be donated to the official family." Yang Zhuoxue felt that she was a bit hypocritical, and felt heartbroken while saying things that went against her will.

"The officials don't like this." Shen An said, "My husband has left!"

Yang Zhuoxue and Guoguo looked at each other.

"Where did the officer get this treasure?"

Shen An entered the palace all the way and met Chen Zhongheng halfway.

"Are you going home first again?" Chen Zhongheng said with an expression on his face: "I have already seen through you."

"Go home and see your wife and children."

Shen An asked: "Where is your Yan Yue?"

Chen Zhongheng's face became tender after hearing this, "I'm at home!"

Shen An looked around, touched two pearls and handed them over.

"Bought on the road."

Chen Zhongheng said in surprise: "So big?"

"I'm not short of money!"

Chen Zhongheng thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll make jewelry for Yan Yue later."

This old house is still burning stubbornly and shows no signs of weakening.

This is also a kind of happiness.

The emperor and his ministers were all waiting for him. After he entered, Zhao Shu said with a straight face, "There are people on the Hebei Road who said that you ran away to Youzhou privately, which made the court uneasy. You are so brave. If the Liao people find out about it, , do you still want to come back?"

There was some worry in these words, and Shen An quickly apologized.

Han Qi smiled and said: "But since he can return safely, I guess he has found out the news."

"Yes." Shen An explained the defense situation in Youzhou City and finally presented the record.

"Very good." Zhao Shu read the record and praised: "You are indeed a lucky general."

"I think this is your strength."

Shen An felt that there was something wrong with what Zhao Shu said.

Zhao Shu raised his head and said: "What kind of strength? Did you get other news during this trip?"

"There is no news, but I lit a fire in Youzhou City."

Well!

Zhao Shu was startled and then cursed: "If you light a fire in the city, you are not afraid of being surrounded and killed by the Liao people?"

"I have my own way." Shen An explained his plan, and when he finally said that one arrow triggered internal strife among the Liao people, Zhao Shu and the ministers were surprised.

"You can actually disturb the peace of Youzhou City?"

"Your Majesty, it's just that there is no peace. The key is that he left a message." Han Qi saw the most important part of this matter at a glance, "This matter will damage the morale of the Liao people, and the Han'er in Youzhou City will also regret it. ”

"I regret it!" Zhao Shu narrowed his eyes, "These years they have always regarded themselves as Liao people. The Song Dynasty is responsible for this. In the past, the taxes of the Song Dynasty were too high, coupled with the lack of force... Those Han'er naturally Refuse to come back.

Now that Shen An has set fire to the imperial city, it's time for those men to realize this. They should know that the Song Dynasty is no longer as weak as before. "

Everyone was excited, and Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, Yelu Hongji is probably going to be very angry."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "I am also very angry, but I am angry about where I will live in Youzhou in the future."

Everyone was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

"The imperial city was burned down by Shen An, and I'm afraid there will be no one left to live in it." Han Qi said with a smile, "Shen An set fire to kill people in Youzhou City, but he wanted to force others."

"In that case, I will go to Zhongjing City."

Zhao Shu implicitly expressed his attitude.

Then there was a lot of praise, and Shen An presented the harvest of this trip, more than ten large pearls.

"The Emperor Liao really has something good."

Gao Taotao likes pearls, but the best pearls are in the north, in the territory of Liao Kingdom, so she can only get some small pearls to play with.

Now that he has this big treasure, Zhao Shu was happy and said, "You are indeed loyal."

When you go out, you don't forget to make treasures for me. This is not loyalty. What is loyalty?

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Shen An took the opportunity to make a request, "Your Majesty, I would like to take ten days' leave."

He should be busy for a few days when he comes back, explaining clearly the situation of his trip, and he also has to go to the Privy Council to set up a sand table with those people.

Zhao Shu nodded, "These are enough, let them see for themselves."

Shen An took detailed notes on the road, and the Privy Council could use them to set up a sand table. If they discovered anything, they could just communicate it with the DPRK.

This is a leave of absence.

Shen An was so happy that he ran away in a flash.

"So eager!"

Zhao Shu was also very anxious and hurried back to the harem.

"Look what this is?"

Gao Taotao was overjoyed with more than a dozen large pearls. When he learned that Shen An got them from the palace of Liao Kingdom, he praised her repeatedly. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net praised Shen An for being the first pearl of this dynasty. A loyal minister.

But Chen Zhongheng was sitting on wax.

Shen An gave him two big pearls and said they were bought.

This was not bought, but snatched.

If he dared to take it out, Zhao Shu would ask about the origin.

This Shen An has been detained a lot in private, right?

He just buttoned it up, and actually gave away two of them. What should I do now?

This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

That shameless guy, he actually tricked someone!

Chen Zhongheng was so angry that his teeth itched.

He curses you to fall when you go out, curses you to be picked up by your wife when you come home, curses you to be disliked by Guoguo and your son when you come home...

Chen Zhongheng felt that this curse would not work, but just after Shen An left the imperial city, he saw several men talking beside him.

When these men saw Shen An coming out, they obviously lowered their voices.

"No one cares about movable type anymore." Because the other party was the famous Shen Duanji, these people didn't dare to act against Shen An, they just said to themselves.

It was just one sentence, just like a stand-up comedy, and then these people ran away.

Is Shen’s reputation so great?

Shen An was a little complacent.

Today, the New Deal is more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the opponents are anxious and angry. As a general of the New Deal, Shen An was hated by the old party the most.

Whatever the enemy supports, we oppose.

Adhering to this belief, movable type printing was almost extinct among the scholar-bureaucrats.

No one cares about movable type anymore?

Shen An squinted at Yujie and smiled proudly.

Brother has plenty of means to deal with you, just wait and see.
