Compete for the Song Dynasty

Seeing Thule nodding with joy, Wang Bang also smiled slightly, and then he turned his face and said to Shen Kuo who was sitting behind the koan in the lobby: "Shen Canjun, you ordered that this foreigner be stripped and thrown into the sea. Let him fend for himself"

Everyone in the hall was taken aback, even Shen Kuo was confused, but he didn't ask any more questions, anyway, he couldn't understand what Wang Pang and the foreigner said, so he could do whatever he said. Pulled out a lottery from the lottery on the top, and was about to do what Wang Pang said, when Thule yelled in panic: "no hy!" Thule asked while looking at Wang Pang, wondering why this man , Turning faces is faster than turning books?

Wang Pang looked at Thule with sharp eyes: "Tule, you deceived me that the Song Dynasty treated foreigners with more courtesy, and thought that the government would not dare to punish you for your crime?"

Thule said with an aggrieved face: "My lord, I am wronged."

"You are wronged?~" Wang Pang snorted coldly: "You pretended not to answer the interrogation truthfully, thinking that my court people don't understand your language, so I can't punish you if I can't communicate! But! Why did you just say that? It has already been explained that you understand our Chinese, since you understand Chinese and can rent a house, why are you pretending to be an idiot in court when you buy copper?"[

Wang Pang said these few words in Chinese. Not only Thule heard it, but even Shen Kuo in the courtroom and the guards in the second class heard it. Shen Kuo immediately looked at Thule with anger, good boy How dare you use this official to make fun of me?

Thule's pale face turned red, and he held back for a long time: "My lord, you need evidence if you say I broke the law!"

"Is the evidence?" Wang Pang snorted coldly: "Show the evidence!"

When his voice fell, the guards turned around and went to fetch the stones, wine, lime, etc. they had just found from the rented house in Thule, without waiting for Shen Kuo to issue an order, and brought them to the court. When I was looking for things, I was still muttering in my heart, can I interrogate how the Gentiles make counterfeit gold with just these few things?But now it is different. The conversation between Wang Pang and Thule in the courtroom was an eye-opener for them. full grasp

After several things were placed in the lobby, Thule immediately froze, lowered his head and asked next to the king, "Tule, what more evidence do you need?"

Thule shook his head, and Wang Pang shouted sharply: "Then you still haven't pleaded guilty?" Thule immediately replied in Chinese: "I plead guilty, I plead guilty!"

There was an uproar in the courtroom. It turned out that this guy could talk. Shen Kuo looked at Wang Pang Wang Pang like a monster, and he felt a little proud, but it didn't show on his face. His judgment was correct and this Thule If he knows Chinese, if he doesn't understand Chinese, Wang Pang feels that it is ambiguous whether he should be a slave or not, but since he understands Chinese, then Wang Pang must let him do things by his side obediently!

He looked at Shen Kuo, and said with a relaxed tone: "I think you are a foreigner. Based on my Song Dynasty's consistent attitude towards foreigners, since you are willing to plead guilty and the fake gold has not been circulated in the world, I will sentence you to be a prisoner for life." My servant, you can just follow me from now on. As for this case, as long as you explain to Shen Canjun how you turned copper into gold, Shen Canjun will let you go."

Everyone in the courtroom heard what Wang Pang said, and these people kept laughing in their hearts. If they had encountered such foreigners in the past, they usually had no countermeasures. If they were not clear about the trial, they would have been released a long time ago. Le was unlucky, met Shen Kuo, a real ghost, insisted on figuring out how to make fake gold, and it was even more unlucky to meet Wang Pang's kindness and power, making Thule a slave of Wang Pang. Look at Thule thanking Wang Pang sincerely, everyone I feel relieved and funny

At this moment, Thule is completely convinced by Wang Pang. He never imagined that there would be someone in the Song Dynasty who knew the method of turning copper into gold. Seeing that even the elders in the hall respected Wang Pang, he knew that this person must be from the Song Dynasty. For a very powerful role, he restrained the unique arrogance of Caucasians, and said respectfully in stumbling Chinese: "I can demonstrate for adults, but only adults, the prince can watch, and others can't watch!"

Wang Pang understood that this was because he was forced to do nothing, and he didn't want to be taught this skill: "Don't worry, you know it, we Song people can do it, but I don't want to do illegal things, but I will give you some For the sake of face, just let Shen Canjun see it." Hearing what Wang Pang said, Thule was really annoyed. This skill is no secret, and it seems that I will only work with this prince from now on.

Shen Kuo was very happy now. Once the case came to an end, he said that in the past, he would know the secret of turning copper into gold. He immediately let Thule go out of the government office with Wang Pang. Zhe Kejun and Han Derong, who were waiting outside, were taken aback when they saw a foreigner brought out by the side of the king.

Thule saw that these two men were the guards next to the king, and he grinned at the two of them, expressing their friendship. Kejun and Han Derong were startled, what is the lord doing?

Wang Pang took Tule back to the residence, and ordered Zhe Kejun to take Tule to take a bath and change clothes. When he came back, Tule was very honest and followed Zhe Kejun obediently. A foreigner comes back? Who is this man?"

"His name is Thule, and he will be a slave of our family from now on, but don't really use him as a slave! This person will be useful in the future." After a busy day, the king changed his clothes and sat down to let out a sigh of relief. said

Su Xiaomei smiled: "It must be useful for you to do this, otherwise you wouldn't bring it back. It must be used for doing business with foreigners in the future."

"It's really a blessing to marry such a smart lady..." Wang Pang praised the younger sister, and the younger sister turned to him, her little hand patted Wang Pang's shoulder, and Wang Pang closed his eyes very comfortably: "By the way, tomorrow I have to go out for a while, after Tule shows Brother Shen how to make fake gold, we can set off."

"Well, you see, you've been busy all day..." she said, rubbing Wang Pang's shoulder with her hands

Wang Pang grabbed her tender little hand: "No, Mrs. Ai, you are so courteous! Tell me, is there anything you want to tell me?" [

The little girl blushed, and Wang Pang saw through her little trick again: "Well, I want to ask if you mean what you say?"

"What's this called? When will my promise be counted?"

Su Xiaomei immediately pulled out her hand when she heard this, and moved a round stool to sit opposite the king: "After you talk about Yongzhou, you will let me do something I want to do? Does it count?"

"Forget it, but first you have to tell me what you want to do?"

Su Xiaomei said: "Husband, you know so much, do you know Shu brocade?"

The king nodded, and Su Xiaomei went on to say: "Shu brocade originated in the Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there were Japanese slaves. Persian envoys specialized in learning Shu brocade techniques. Now the imperial court is still building a brocade courtyard in Chengdu. I want to wait for us to go to Yongzhou to preside over the production of brocade. Husband allowed me to set up brocade courts there. Husband plans to set up Qchao in Yongzhou. I think this Shu brocade business will be easy to do!"

"Okay, I support you [-]%!" This is a good thing, Wang Pang replied without hesitation, Su Xiaomei agreed when she saw Wang Pang so happily, and she immediately beamed with joy and smiled like a flower

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Pang made an appointment with Shen Kuo and asked Thule to demonstrate how to make fake gold. It turns out that those stones are minerals, namely tin, magnesium and other things. Sixteen parts of quicklime and nine parts of white wine are ready, and then put an appropriate amount of copper in a tong pot and boil until it melts, then add magnesium lime (separately ground into powder and white wine, add them one by one and stir, then add zinc (Xilonghuo) Cook and cover the pot with tongs. After half an hour, open the lid to remove the upper layer of debris, then turn off the heat. After the copper cools down, it will become like gold. Not only the color is the same as gold, but also the softness is the same. It can be made into any shape. ornaments

Seeing that Huang Chengcheng's fake gold was made under his nose, Shen Kuo's curiosity was finally satisfied. Now he could feel at ease. That night, Shen Kuo hosted a banquet at the Yingchun Tower and thanked Wang again. This time it was a real farewell party. , because Wang Pang had already decided to leave tomorrow, and Shen Kuo also decided to go to Beijing to take up his post on the same day.

It was still Shen Kuo, Wang Pang, and Li Gefei. The atmosphere was more relaxed than last time. Shen Kuo told Li Gefei about Wang Pang's trial of Tule, which made Li Gefei laugh. Ai, I didn't know you could still speak this foreign language, but when you have time, you must teach me."

Wang Pang thought, don't say you don't know, I always beat the drums and said that I thought I was an ordinary person with a good skill, but this coincidental time travel, this strange stone made me a master of the past and the present. Shen Kuo praised him, but he was very happy: "It's nothing. When I go back to open the college, just add one course and it will be called foreign language! Train more professional translators, and brother Shen will be able to do it at any time." come to learn"

"Hmm! Well, it's settled, you tell me now, how do you say me in this foreign language?"

"Love--" Wang Pang told Shen Kuo with a smile, "What about you?" Shen Kuo asked again

"Again--" Shen Kuo's expression was so serious, Wang Bang also began to teach seriously

Shen Kuo nodded, and he raised his glass: "Okay, okay, I'll toast my brother! I've served you! I've served you!"

Li Gefei also raised his glass like a booing: "I've taken you too!" The three of them laughed loudly together.

Wang Pang took Su Xiaomei, and the team set out to leave Yangzhou. First, they went back to Linchuan to let Su Xiaomei meet her parents. This time in Linchuan, besides Su Xiaomei, Wang Pang also had Li Jie and a tall, blond, blue-eyed man beside him. Wherever Wang Pang goes, it is already eye-catching, and Thule is even more eye-catching. Even Wang Anshi took in a foreign slave for Wang Pang. They stayed in Linchuan for another two days, and then rushed to Yongzhou. ^-^
