Prime Minister

Chapter 771 Change
In an apartment in Bianjing.

Now the crown prince Zhongyun, the school manager of Jixian, and Shen Kuo, who was promoted to Sitianjian, was leaning on the table and staring at a large celadon bowl in front of him.

This bowl is filled with clear water, and a sewing needle is lying on top of the clear water.

Shen Kuo observed the needle for a long time, and then said to himself: "The magnetic needle can guide, but it is slightly to the east."

After saying this, Shen Kuo went to the desk and wrote it down with a pen.

After Shen Kuo finished writing, he heard a roar from the bedroom, as if his wife Zhang was reprimanding him again.

Hearing Zhang's roar, Shen Kuo shrank subconsciously, touched the bruises on his right cheek and arm, and said, "It's just that villains and women are hard to raise.

Shen Kuo stuffed his ears with cloth strips to block the sound from outside the door, and then said to himself authentically: "The ancients all said that Nan magnetic spoons are guides, but today I use a magnet to grind a needle to see that it is not Zhengnan, but Bingwu. .”

Shen Kuo was very engrossed in his thoughts, and before he knew it, he was the No. 1 person in the world who discovered the magnetic field declination.

Shen Kuo wrote all his thoughts into the book, forgetting himself completely.

Li Kui on the side said: "The teacher will leave Beijing tomorrow, and there is no time to visit the door in a hurry, so let my uncle and I take this trip on his behalf."

The rise and fall of the world can be said to be borne here.

Seeing Shen Kuo and his wife Zhang, Huang Lu and Li Kui hurriedly saluted.

Just at this time, someone outside reported that his son-in-law Huang Lu and his nephew Li Kui had come.

Son-in-law Huang Lu is a close friend of Zhang Yue, and Shen Kuo seems to regard himself as an elder in his tone.

When Huang Lu pointed out Shen Kuo, he immediately showed a look of distress, and hurriedly said: "It's okay to accidentally fall and hurt yesterday, it's okay."

These two handles are very scary. If Zhang Yue has the heart to manage in Xihe for two or three years, he will be able to separate the land and divide the territory.

Shen Kuo was terrified when he saw her, but saw the woman grabbed Shen Kuo's hair, tore off the cloth strip from his ear, and said, "Officer! What's the matter? Are my words so unpleasant to you?"

When Shen Kuo heard it, he said anxiously: "Lady, the son-in-law is here, how can I let him see me like this?"

Shen Kuo was very surprised when he heard it, and then he was ecstatic in his heart. The news of Zhang Yuexin's worship of the Xihe Road Jinglu appeasement envoy came out yesterday, shaking the government and the public.

One is to reward and punish any officials on Xihe Road at will.

Huang Lu was about to speak when he saw a black spot on the right side of Shen Kuo's face and couldn't help asking: "Old Taishan, your face..."

"Oh?"

At this moment, Shen Kuo's face was almost beaming with joy, but he still put on airs and said, "Since you are invited by your degree, why doesn't he come to visit?"

Shen Kuo was crying from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know what to say because he was not good at words: "Lady, this cloth note has reached my ears somehow. It's strange."

Just then, he heard a loud knock on the door. Shen Kuo, who was concentrating on it, was suddenly startled and looked up.

Of course Huang Lu knew that his father-in-law was an all-rounder, otherwise Zhang Yue would not have conscripted him.

Now everyone knows that the government places a lot of trust in Zhang Yue, or that the imperial court put all its chips on this person, actively or forcedly betting on the fate of the entire country.

Because the officials gave him two powers that the frontier ministers have not had since the dynasty.

On this day, Huang Shu said to his son Huang Tingjian: "I have long seen that Xu Xi's appearance is extraordinary, and he will be a great success in the future, so I have been paying attention to him. Now he is going to the northwest under the curtain of Zhang Du. This time he will make a great contribution. His future achievements are limitless."

Zhang sneered and cursed from the bottom of her heart, what to pretend, but she still smiled and said: "It's an official, I'll go get ready."

Which man does not yearn for making contributions and leaving his name in history? Isn't that what Shen Kuo has been pursuing all his life?

The other party was a young woman, staring at Shen Kuo with her hands on her hips.

Shen Kuo immediately thought of going to the northwest, so he couldn't help but have a sleepless night.

Mrs. Zhang sneered three times, and put another bowl of water on top of Shen Kuo's head.

After speaking, Mrs. Zhang left.

Shen Kuo said in embarrassment: "My lady, can I have some leeway?"

The imperial court's method of restricting officials and military generals is just two classes, one is financial power and the other is personnel power, and now both are given to Zhang Yue.

Huang Shu smiled and said: "Yes, people's misfortunes, fortunes, and honors are not easy to see. Isn't it rare for him to be a farmer in the morning and to go to the Tianzitang in the evening? Xu Xi is lucky now, but fortunately he was in the past. I still owe the old man a few favors."

Fearing that he would not be able to deal with it perfunctorily, Shen Kuo hurriedly said, "Drink tea, drink tea!"

Also sleepless all night, there was another person who tossed and turned, and that was Xu Xi.

At this time, an official in the capital was named Huang Shu. He and Xu Xi were generally from Jiangxi. Jinshi.

That night, Shen Kuo ate three bowls of rice as an exception, and Shen Kuo and Mrs. Zhang talked about it with pride on their faces.

The other is that generals below the horizontal class can be killed first and played later.

Shen Kuo laughed awkwardly, put the bowl on his head so as not to spill a little, and laughed at himself, now I have added another skill.

Shen Kuo walked to the living room and heard Huang Lu and Li Kui talking outside, so he cleared his throat heavily before pacing outside the door.

For Xu Xi, the experience of these two days was from being humble to being an official.

……

Re-entering the topic, Huang Lu said: "My son-in-law has been entrusted by Du this time, and I have come to ask Lao Taishan to help me."

Mrs. Zhang was younger than Huang Lu, but she still warmly greeted him and said that he had prepared a few delicate side dishes. Shen Kuo nodded blankly and said, "Don't prepare it yet, treat your son-in-law well."

Now Zhang Yue thought of himself on the second day after accepting the appointment of the Xihe Road Economic Envoy, and asked Shen Kuo to come out of the mountain, which is really too honorable.

After speaking, the other party put Shen Kuo's bowl filled with clear water and lying on the magnetic needle on the top of the other party's head.Shen Kuo looked like he was about to cry but didn't have any tears, and he didn't move at all, for fear that the water would spill the slightest bit.

Shen Kuo actually liked the son-in-law Huang Lu very much, but he always wanted to put on the solemnity of an old man on his face.Shen Kuo said to Huang Lu, "What's the matter with my son-in-law here?"

Shen Kuo knew that Li Kui was the chief disciple of Zhang Yue, so he was very satisfied that he could come in person, but as an elder, he still had to put on airs.

The other party was even more angry: "Okay, you still lie in front of me, give me the top! If you spill it, you are the only one to ask."

Zhang said: "How about that?"

Shen Kuo heard the words and said: "That's fine, I'll help the gang as much as I can! I know everything about military strategies, astronomy and geography, managing people and financial management, and even counting water conservancy, medicine and farmland."

"This knowledge is not superficial knowledge, but profound knowledge!"

Huang Tingjian said: "I used to think that this person is just a big talker and has no real skills, but I didn't expect to be favored by Zhang Du."

Speaking of this, Huang Shu said to Huang Tingjian: "Now you go to the door and ask him if he would like to marry our family?"

Huang Tingjian was a little surprised when he heard that his father actually wanted to marry his sister to him.

He had never thought that his Huang family would marry such a penniless and humble child like Xu Xi.

When the emperor of the Song Dynasty put the fate of the country on the table, in just one day and one night, the fate of many people changed accordingly.
