Chapter 1,733 Keep Smiling, Wang Yu Will Be a Father
The sky in Cochin is very blue.
After Jiang Xing woke up, he took a look outside and said with satisfaction: "True blue."
After washing up, it’s breakfast.
A big bowl of rice, and a big bowl of fish and vegetables.
This is Jiaozhi.
He was not used to eating rice. At first he always felt he was not full, but he gradually got used to it.
After breakfast, he went out of the door.
As soon as you go out, you can see a mountain range.
An official road extends from the side into the mountains.
"Ginger, please point it out!"
An official came over from the right. Jiang Xing nodded, "Let's go and have a look at the mine."
Everyone got on their horses and talked about the recent situation in the mines and the situation in the Central Plains.
"They said they were preparing for the Northern Expedition, with great fanfare and no cover. At first, I thought it was imprudent, but later I realized that it was to scare the Liao people. If we start scaring them now, their morale will not be lifted when the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition comes. coming."
"Jiang Tidian, can you tell me when the Northern Expedition will be?"
Jiang Xing thought for a while, "It's impossible in autumn and winter, otherwise if it rains, the roads will be muddy and difficult to fight. So we have to look at next year. I guess it will be spring. If it doesn't rain, the army will go north."
"Hey! If it succeeds, Da Song will be turned around."
"Yes! With the land of Youyan, the Song Dynasty will be on par with the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"It's far worse! The territory was vast during the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"..."
After a dispute, the mine arrived.
Thousands of Jiaozhi prisoners have already started work under the supervision of Song Dynasty sergeants.
In this era of mining, digging is the only way, but the speed is very slow.
An official said melancholy: "It's too slow. They say the firearms in the army are powerful. It would be great if they could be used to explode."
"With the Northern Expedition imminent, how can we get those gunpowders here? Besides, those gunpowders can't blow up mountains, so it's useless to bring them."
Everyone stood high and watched for a while, and some people couldn't help but ask: "Is there any mineral vein here?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Xing.
"There should be." Jiang Xing said with certainty: "The students of Mangshan Academy ventured into Jiaozhi and found traces here. Shen Longtu is sure that there are mineral veins here."
"There are traces...but we didn't see it."
"If we can't dig it out in a year or two, won't our efforts be in vain?"
"yes!"
Jiang Xing frowned and said: "This is the decision of the court, let's just follow it."
Everyone went about their business.
As the days passed by, the officials became more and more anxious.
"Still no trace of copper ore."
"There are more than a thousand prisoners. In order to feed them, part of the food transported to the north by the Guangnan West Road to support the Northern Expedition was withheld. Jiang Ti pointed out that if it fails, we should go to Shu."
If this continues, officials will have no political achievements and will be wasted. The key point here is that there is nothing in the barren mountains and mountains. They live a life that can be called ascetic.
I can't stand it anymore!
"A letter from Shen Longtu!"
Jiang Xing suppressed his subordinates' complaints.
The prisoners were still working hard.
Jiang Xing gradually adapted to rice and developed several kinds of rice.
Among them, his favorite is fried rice.
Boil the rice until it's hard, let it cool for a few hours, then add it to the pan and stir-fry it with eggs. The smell makes him forget about pasta for the first time.
"Ginger, please point it out!"
He was making dinner at his residence when a colleague rushed in from outside and said excitedly: "Baby, I found a treasure."
"What baby?"
Jiang Xing is making fried rice with scrambled eggs.
The fried egg and fried rice must be cooked over high heat. Watching the rice grains jumping in the pot is indescribable.
The official stamped his feet and pulled him away.
"What baby?"
"Say it's a gold nugget!"
Damn it!
Jiang Xing was overjoyed, mounted his horse and went to the mine.
He galloped all the way and finally trotted up the mountain.
A group of sergeants were on guard, with two corpses at their feet.
A general came over with a golden object in his arms, "Jiang Ti, please take a look."
This was a piece of natural gold. Jiang Xing took it and felt a heavy pressure pressing down on it. As soon as his hands relaxed, the gold piece fell down.
puff!
The general was dumbfounded.
You didn’t mean it!
Jiang Xing leaned over and picked up the gold nugget and said, "I don't blame you."
He looked at the gold nugget happily and said, "This means that we have found the place."
"dig!"
Jiang Xing said happily: "Shen Longtu is indeed a great talent. Go and urge the place to get us five hundred more people."
He said with great ambition: "I want to fill Bianliang with copper ingots!"
Everyone couldn't help but giggle when they thought of the scene where Bianliang City was full of copper ingots.
This is great merit!
"There's a fire at the bottom of the mountain!"
The complacent people ran to the side and took a look, and saw that the station had turned into a sea of fire.
grass!
Jiang Xing said angrily: "This must be done by Jiaozhi spies. Go and find them and bring them to the mines!"
Everyone nodded and said in praise: "Be smart, we are in urgent need of manpower now, and that's exactly what it should be."
"Go and arrest people! Go everyone!"
Copper mines often have associated gold, and this discovery made everyone happy. At this moment, running all the way down the mountain, I felt the wind blowing under my armpits, which was extremely comfortable.
When everyone mounted their horses at the foot of the mountain and rushed all the way to the station, a sergeant was putting out the fire.
"Who set the fire?"
Jiang Xing asked angrily as he dismounted.
A sergeant turned around and said, "To remind you, it was first started by your side."
"Are you trying to burn someone to death?"
Jiang Xing felt that this was a conspiracy. There was a Jiaozhi spy who wanted to kill him and disrupt the overall situation.
Then he thought about his egg fried rice.
“Someone’s egg fried rice!”
A pot of egg fried rice ruined the station, and a group of people shivered in the night wind that night.
"There will be a day when all the hardships will be over and the joy will come." Jiang Xing found that his morale was a little low, so he thought of the story of burning the cauldron and sinking the boat, so he vowed: "I swear that if I find a copper mine, I will pay for it with three months' salary." Everyone drinks and eats meat.”
Morale finally improved.
A familiar official came over and asked in a low voice: "To remind you, didn't you say that all your salary was given to the Hedong Lion at home? How come you still have it?"
Jiang Xing said calmly: "This gold nugget was found in a ditch. In other words, it slipped from above. I don't know how many years ago. There must be such a copper mine, but if you want to find it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find it. It will take two or three months, enough for someone to save money."
"Be smarter."
But three days later, cheers came from the mountains.
"Copper mine discovered!"
In an instant, no matter who it was, everyone swarmed away.
The ore was carefully removed, and Jiang Xing looked at the thing affectionately, "Go and beg for people, take this piece of ore and beg for as many as you can!"
He stood up and looked at the mountains, and said with emotion: "In the past, the Song Dynasty was short of copper, and so much money was minted every year, resulting in no money in the court. Now with this mine, how much can be produced every year? Millions of coins ? If so, we are all meritorious officials."
Everyone couldn't help but rejoice, and someone shouted in the crowd: "Thank you for the wine and meat."
Jiang Xing was startled and immediately confused.
He promised three months ago to use three months' salary to treat the guests, but now he is penniless!
As copper mines continue to be mined, smelting on the edge is also carried out simultaneously.
When the copper ingots were put into the box one by one, Jiang Xing said: "When I get more, I will send them to Bianliang and tell the officials that there is no shortage of copper in the Song Dynasty."
…
Shen An didn't know that copper mines had been mined in the far southwest, and he was pretending to be a ghost.
In the Wang family, Wu and Wang Yu stood nervously on the side. Shen An, who was dragged by Wang Yu, was checking Zuo Zhen's pulse.
Zuo Zhen was lying on the bed with a big belly. Men and women should avoid suspicion, but Shen An and Lao Wang were well-connected, so there was no need to be taboo about this.
He had always flaunted that Mangshan people did not prescribe medicine when treating doctors, but Wang Yu said that he did not need to prescribe medicine, but only asked him to check on Zuo Zhen's condition.
Just take a look, the royal doctor is here anyway.
But the imperial doctor was right next to him, staring at him with the attitude of "someone wants to learn from his master".
Brother, don’t stare at me!
I'm panicking!
Shen An was worried that he would be exposed.
But the imperial doctor is still like this.
Shen An had no choice but to pretend to check the pulse and end it later.
He got up and walked out.
Wu and Wang Yu, mother and son, were both a little nervous.
Wu was thinking about her unborn grandson, and Wang Yu was thinking about his wife and children.
When the imperial doctor saw Shen An standing with his hands behind his back, he whispered: "Shen Longtu is probably thinking about his pulse, don't worry."
Wu nodded, "Anbei never refuses to diagnose people's pulse and treat diseases outside. Today is an exception."
The imperial doctor smiled and said, "Isn't that right? When Shen Longtu was seeing a doctor for the county prince, he just looked at his face and asked a few questions."
This is friendship!
Wu's mother and son couldn't help but be moved.
Shen An slowly turned around and said with a smile: "Peace of mind."
Wu felt relieved and said, "Thanks to An Bei, let the kitchen prepare some good dishes later so that we can have a good meal."
hehe!
Shen An responded with a smile.
Wang Yu cupped his hand, and his words of thanks were all in it.
Only the imperial physician is pondering.
"Peace of mind."
"That means it's not a serious problem, but there's something slightly wrong... Tsk! Shen Longtu just took his pulse and got the result, but I checked it for three days in a row and discussed it with my colleagues and found out that it's not a serious problem. , Awesome! Not as good as someone else!"
When Shen An heard these words from the front, he couldn't help but recited the word "brain fill" silently several times.
After Wang Anshi left the office, he saw the excitement at home. When he asked if Shen An was here, he said, "That guy went to the army today. He knocked down several people. Those people were all convinced."
Shen An has no doubt that he will become a legend among Taoists if he sacrifices his life.
Everyone toasted and drank. Wang Yu drank two glasses and left early, saying he was going to change clothes.
o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o
Shen An and Wang Anshi looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
This means guarding my wife.
He is indeed a good man!
Just when I was drinking happily, I heard someone shouting: "Start it!"
Suddenly he couldn't drink anything anymore, and Shen An said subconsciously: "I will resign first."
He didn't look like a man staying here, so he planned to go home and let his wife watch over him.
Wang Anshi caught him immediately, and his movements were so fast that Shen An didn't even react.
Just when he was thinking that Lao Wang was a master, Wang Anshi said: "Please stay in Anbei. If something happens later... I will have to rely on you to take action."
Shen An smiled and said, "Okay."
So he and Wang Anshi continued drinking.
The two talked about the New Deal and the Northern Expedition.
When it came to the Northern Expedition, Wang Anshi started talking.
"...As long as you visit the land of Youyan, who dares to say that the Song Dynasty is a southern country? Who dares to say that we are southerners..."
At this time, a servant came from behind and said, "Alang, please call Mr. Shen from behind."
Wang Anshi's body trembled, "Anbei..."
Shen An smiled and said, "I'll go take a look."
He was led all the way to the backyard, and Wang Anshi followed.
This was probably a difficult childbirth, and he couldn't wait ahead.
"...It's a bit difficult to say, UU read www.uukanshu.net If you don't come out, I'm afraid..."
When they arrived at the backyard, Wu came over and said with a worried look: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult."
Zuo Zhen inside has been holding back.
Yang Zhuoxue once told her not to exert force frequently, but in bursts.
According to her understanding, it was best to come out all at once.
But this hurts!
She just worked hard for a while and held it back for a while.
But this deceived the midwife into thinking she was having a difficult delivery.
Wang Yu outside was shouting, "Madam!"
Zuo Zhen had just gathered her strength and prepared to do it, but she was discouraged when she was shouted out like this.
Can you please stop shouting?
She smiled bitterly in her heart, and then used her strength again.
"coming!"
The midwife cheered.
At the same time, Shen An outside smiled and said: "Peace of mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the midwife inside shouted: "It's out!"
The imperial doctor praised: "Shen Longtu is indeed a miracle doctor!"
He felt that Shen An was too sure of himself and was clearly confident.
The same was true for Mrs. Wu, so she felt a little relieved and prayed with her hands clasped together.
"Out!"
Later, the midwife came out holding a swaddle and showed her face before going in.
"He's a young man, congratulations."
In an instant, everyone in the Wang family cheered.
"Anbei, thank you very much."
Mrs. Wu looked grateful.
Wang Anshi held Shen An's hand, "Okay!"
Shen An kept smiling.
If you want to fool someone, remember to smile and stay calm.
leftover……
It depends on God’s will.

The fourth update is here, good night!
