Chapter 812: During the Strategic Window Period, Deal with the Cochin People

After the court was over, Shen An wanted to run away, but Han Qi grabbed him and said angrily: "Why don't you treat me if you get a good thing?"

Shen An turned around and saw that the prime ministers and assistants were all smiling, "Isn't this... going to the Yamen?"

Ouyang Xiu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Nothing to do today...didn't you hear that the officials didn't give me a banquet just now? They just let me wait and do what I want."

Damn it!

Are there any hidden rules here?

Giving a banquet means letting the prime minister work hard, but not giving a banquet means giving them a quiet holiday...

This treatment and this boss are so good!

"Your family, Guoguo, has received such benefits and is ready to recruit a husband..."

Zeng Gongliang was probably in a good mood, so he was a rare wretched person.

"No." Ten-year-old Guoguo is still a little girl in Shen An's eyes, and it's still too early to talk about marriage.

But it was hard to refuse the treat, so Shen An had no choice but to agree.

Naturally, Bao Zheng wouldn't go. He had too many things to do, and he didn't get along well with the three prime ministers.

Along the way to Fanlou, three prime ministers and assistants suddenly appeared, causing a flurry of intrigue.

"My lords, I have a new good fish here."

"My dear, there is a pretty cook here."

"The fat sheep that just arrived were raised with milk. They are so tender!"

"..."

After seeing Shen An behind him, all the hooks disappeared.

This is the God of Cooking, and Bianliang's stir-fry originated from him. Talking about delicious food in front of him is just a trick.

Shen An pointed to a restaurant at random, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he said he didn't need any money.

"A treat."

Shen An gave up his idea with just one word.

Will the God of Wealth give you that little money?

Shen An ordered almost all home-cooked dishes, which made Ouyang Xiu very curious.

“Why are you ordering ordinary dishes?”

He enjoyed it very much when he was young, and he still does so now.

Beautiful clothes, angry horses, mellow wine and beautiful women, this is life!

"Ordinary..." Shen An sat opposite him and said, "The so-called delicacies are actually novelties. But what do people want for two meals a day? I think what I want is the extraordinary found in the ordinary."

"Bullshit!" Han Qi said disdainfully: "Don't you just want to make ordinary dishes come up with new ideas? Is it interesting to talk about it for so long? Young people should be straightforward."

Shen An smiled dryly and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

Han Qi looked at Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu, and said in a low voice: "I have discussed the matter of Jiaozhi with the officials, and I have some suggestions... Since the Liao and Xixia people have stopped, should we take the opportunity to deal with the Jiaozhi people..."

Damn it!

When did Lao Han become so radical?

Shen An was confused and immediately remembered those days. At that time, Lao Han was very radical!

However, the subsequent failure dampened his enthusiasm and gradually turned him into a bureaucrat. Then the Song Dynasty's several external victories inspired his passion, and he was ready to take action.

"The people of Cochin...the miasma is rampant there, it's difficult."

Zeng Gongliang was also a little moved, but he felt that this matter was unreliable.

"If we want to conquer Jiaozhi, it will be difficult for a large army. Miasma is only one of them, and how will we transport food and grass? Those places are densely covered with rivers and forests, which will drive people crazy!"

Han Qi sighed: "I also know that opportunities are rare! Xixia has only temporarily calmed down, but Li Liangzuo will definitely look for opportunities to attack, otherwise he will not be able to sit still. As for the Liao people, the stronger the Song Dynasty, the more panic they will have. They will also come to cause trouble... I only have time to deal with the Cochin people now, it would be a pity to miss it."

Shen An lowered his head to eat the food. When the three prime ministers saw that he was silent, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

A treat was of course an excuse. The ministers wanted to perform surgery on Jiaozhi, but they were not sure, so they found an excuse to ask Shen An.

"Shen An..." Ouyang Xiu was thick-skinned, and finally he came forward, "What do you think?"

Shen An put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Jiaozhi's insatiable greed makes people resentful. Do you think you should fight to the death, or keep beating them, making them suffer and live in fear..."

Huh!

Han Qi touched his chin and said with some emotion: "It was the Jiaozhi people who came to harass the Song Dynasty in the past. If the Song Dynasty came to harass them..."

Very cool!

The cliff is so cool!

Han Qi looked at Zeng Gongliang.

Lao Zeng had a serious look on his face, "Well... what if the navy also goes? Going both by land and water... will Li Rizun pee his pants in fear?"

"Already gone."

Shen An raised his glass to toast, but the ministers did not respond.

"The navy is gone?"

"When did you go?"

"We have gone a long time ago. The naval battle frightened the Liao people. Now it is said that the Liao people are building warships and want to take revenge. But before that, they were unable to do anything."

Shen An put down his wine glass and smiled when he saw that the prime ministers and assistants were listening seriously.

If it weren't for the foreshadowing of those achievements, what he said now would be regarded as nonsense and farts by the ministers and ministers!

As long as the Song Dynasty can continue to win, no matter it is the prime minister, important ministers, or even the common people, they will no longer be afraid of the Liao and Xixia people, and they will even be eager to go to war.

This is the heart qi.

A country can continue to develop only if it has spirit. On the contrary, a lifeless atmosphere will plunge the country into confusion.

"After the navy returned last time, it had been repaired for a month. The lower official advised the officials that the navy needs to continue fighting in order to make progress. The navy around the Song Dynasty... There is no navy in Xixia, and the navy of the Liao people After the last defeat, I didn’t dare to come out again for a while, only Jiaozhi had a chance.”

Shen An raised his glass again and everyone drank together.

Han Qi said enthusiastically: "The Jiaozhi people have been dishonest in recent years and have been constantly harassing Guangnan West Road in the Song Dynasty. They were so arrogant at that time! No matter whether they spoke to the envoys sincerely or sent envoys to Li Rizun to persuade them, it was useless. They were arrogant and thought that the Song Dynasty could not punish them, so they were confident."

"It's different now." He looked at Shen An and said proudly: "The Song Dynasty has a powerful naval force. You can sneak all the way... Can you get to Shenglong City?"

Shen An nodded: "You can take the sea route, and finally go in along the river, directly to the edge of Shenglong City."

"That's good." Han Qi picked up the wine bottle and took a swig.

Boom!

The silver wine pot was smashed, and Han Qi laughed and said: "It's so refreshing! The Song Dynasty is so refreshing, hahahaha!"

Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gongliang also laughed. When the shopkeeper who was waiting outside heard the laughter, he opened the window and stuck his head out.

"Listen, my husband is so satisfied with my food, they are laughing."

The colleague next to him pretended not to hear, unable to express his angry mood, so he leaned out a little further.

"Listen, listen..."

Business competition is often more fierce than battlefield battles. It is a huge gain to be recognized by heavyweights.

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows proudly and leaned his upper body out of the window.

"Shopkeeper, be careful..."

"Help!"

Boom!

This meal was not bad. If the shopkeeper had not fallen from the second floor, then this meal would have been perfect.

Shen An returned home all the way and called Guoguo and Zhao Wuwu to talk.

Guoguo still looked full of energy, but Zhao Wuwu had a little more energy. She changed into a pair of coarse cloth clothes, and her hair was simply pulled up. It was impossible to tell that she was a high-ranking female official.

"The official said before that Guo Guo has merit."

"I have merit?" Guoguo's eyes widened in confusion, "Brother, what merit do I have?"

"You almost burned the rebellious leader to death. You did something that even the Imperial City Division had not been able to do for many years. The officials are very happy."

"Oh!" Guoguo was obviously not interested in merit, "It's better for my brother to do meritorious service. It can also break people's legs."

This sister has been led astray!

Shen An said with a dark face, "It's nothing."

"Yes." Guoguo clapped her fingers and said, "You interrupted..." She named several people, all of whom were unlucky ones whose legs were broken by Shen An. The news had already spread throughout the market.

"Okay." Shen An was a little embarrassed after being scolded by his sister. He looked at Zhao Wuwu and asked, "How do you feel when the day comes?"

"The little lady is very nice."

Zhao Wuwu told the truth. Guoguo heard the chicken dance every day, then it was time to study, and later it was time to play. The key is that Guoguo can take care of herself, fold a quilt and comb her hair, which is extremely rare given Shen An's identity.

Which ten-year-old girl from a wealthy family would comb her hair and make quilt by herself?

So Zhao Wuwu was very curious. She felt that Shen An didn't care about her sister, so she let her work by herself.

"That's good." Shen An dismissed her casually, and then said: "The officials have said that your salary will still be paid by the palace in the future..."

"Empress!" Zhao Wuwu burst into tears immediately.

Niang Xipi!

Shen An said with some displeasure: "It has nothing to do with your Majesty. If Guo Guo has made meritorious service, the official will reward him. As for your salary, that's just a gimmick."

"Yes." Zhao Wuwu lowered his head, "I have lost my mind."

"After this, you are no longer a member of the palace, you must know this."

"yes."

The corners of Zhao Wuwu's mouth were slightly raised, very meekly.

"Go back...change your clothes." The servants of the Shen family were also well-dressed, so seeing Zhao Wuwu dressed in coarse cloth, Shen An felt particularly dazzling.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Wuwu took a step back, like a frightened bird, and even covered his chest with his hands.

"You think too much."

Shen An said angrily: "Since you like it, then whatever you want."

This woman didn't know what the atmosphere in the palace was that made her so nervous.

But seeing her frightened look, UU read www.uukanshu． net Shen An suddenly remembered that he had been a monk for more than half a year.

Ever since Yang Zhuoxue found out he was pregnant, he had been holding it in.

When he was busy, he naturally wouldn't think about these things, but today he was in a happy mood, and he was actually a little bit ready to make a move after being treated like this by Zhao Wuwu.

Young man! Full of blood.

This is a wolf!

Zhao Wuwu felt that this look was similar to that of a wolf, so he added Shen An to the blacklist.

Shen An naturally didn't have this idea. Now all he could think about was his wife and the child, how to give birth to the child, and what the child should be called...

He has been so busy with this recently that he didn't even take the academy's entrance exam into consideration.
