A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Zhao Shu took a nap and woke up feeling in good spirits, but a little lazy and didn't want to move.

He drank a cup of hot tea and felt better, so he asked, "Is Shen Anke here?"

Chen Zhongheng asked and came back and said: "He said he was quarreling with people outside the palace gate... He brought something in, and those people didn't allow it, so they started quarreling."

"Let him come."

Zhao Shu said very dissatisfied: "You have money, but why do you buy so much ambergris? Why burn it...Are you crazy?"

"The only one who burned things like this was Emperor Sui Yang."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made a lot of spices, piled them up, and then lit them. The smell...

Zhao Shu naturally wouldn't hold such a large spice party, and he didn't like others doing it.

So Shen An is considered taboo.

"And that's ambergris!"

He lamented: "The dragon changes endlessly, and the head is seen but not the tail. The only thing left is the dragon's saliva, which can be encountered but cannot be sought..."

Zhao Xu did not think that the emperor was a dragon, otherwise his saliva would turn into ambergris.

But Chen Zhongheng is different, he firmly believes in it.

This is the dragon!

A certain person is actually able to serve a dragon. This is a great opportunity.

Later, Shen An came, and Zhao Shu said lightly: "Why did you buy so much ambergris?"

"The king wants to buy it."

Zhao Shu was stunned by Shen An's words, and then suddenly turned away.

He had just recovered from his condition and was at a vulnerable time, so when he heard these words, he felt that his son had really grown up and knew how to be considerate of him as a father.

"Let people go and reward the prince..."

Shen An's words were half true and half false. He bought the ambergris and tried it out of curiosity. Many of them were given to Zhao Xu and asked him to pass them on to Zhao Shu. In this way, he completed a roundabout purchasing process.

Why! Is it interesting to live like this when you become an emperor but don’t have freedom? Even if you buy a spice, you have to change hands several times?

Shen An felt that he was much more comfortable than the emperor, so he looked at Zhao Shu with a look of pity.

"Guan Jia, this ambergris... it's not dragon's saliva!"

Zhao Xu expressed his worries about his father. The most worrying thing was that he regarded himself as a dragon.

Shen An was convinced of this, so after some planning, he entered the palace.

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said, "You are still young and don't understand!"

That's a dragon!

The ethereal dragon is soaring above the nine heavens, how enviable it is.

"The dragon is above the nine heavens, and I am below the nine heavens. When can we see each other again?"

Zhao Shu said regretfully: "If I can see it, I will go and see it to see what the dragon looks like..."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, "There are real dragons and fake dragons in the world. I am a real dragon, and Li Rizun must be a fake dragon...Li Liangzuo is not even a snake..."

Damn, is this crazy?

Shen An felt something was wrong and quickly interrupted: "There is no dragon in the official family!"

Well!

Zhao Shu and Chen Zhongheng looked at Shen An together, with anger in their eyes.

"There is no dragon?" Zhao Shu waved his hand and said, "You can go ahead."

He was still intoxicated with the idea that he was a dragon.

If I am not a dragon, then why can only ambergris relieve my condition?

This is an opportunity that only true dragons can have!

"Official..."

Shen An took out the dark brown piece of ambergris and said, "This is the earliest ambergris. It smells extremely unpleasant, with a... putrid smell and the smell of sea water..."

Zhao Shu was stunned, "Is this ambergris?"

Isn't ambergris white?

Shen An said: "This is the earliest ambergris. If it is soaked in seawater for decades, it will turn white and the taste will be extremely pure..."

"Seawater soaking?"

"Yes." Shen An said: "The so-called ambergris is actually a kind of... There are giant whales in the sea. They are huge and eat very boldly. When they open their mouths, they suck everything into their mouths... fish Naturally, it can be transformed, but some things are extremely hard and cannot be digested, so they stay in the intestines, irritate the intestines, and finally secrete something to wrap these things, or spit them out..."

This fits the description of ambergris, which means drooling or vomiting.

Vomit!

People in the Song Dynasty believed that ambergris might be the vomit of a dragon. This shows that they were not ignorant. It was just that Zhao Shu was sick. After entering the palace, he felt that he had become a dragon.

"Some of them were...pulled out."

Damn it, is this ambergris or poop?

The official was actually intoxicated by sniffing the dragon's poop...this...

Chen Zhongheng was giving Shen An a wink and a signal, telling him to stop quickly to avoid bad luck.

"go out!"

Zhao Shu was indeed angry, stood up and shouted: "Get out!"

Well!

Shen Anwu refused to give up and said: "Guan, that thing smelled bad when it first came out. It needs to be soaked in sea water for decades or hundreds of years before it turns white before fishermen are willing to salvage it and sell it for money. If you don't believe me, ask someone to ask." …”

"Bang!"

The tea cup shattered and Zhao Shu looked livid.

Okay, brother is gone.

Shen An quickly resigned and ran away.

Later, when the prime ministers learned the news, they all looked at each other in shock.

"This Shen An is really bold! I'm afraid it's him after looking at the package."

Zeng Gongliang's words did not make Bao Zheng happy. He stood up and said, "We should go and ask."

Han Qi is ready, and everyone goes to see Zhao Shu.

Later, when the monarch and his ministers met, Zhao Shu explained what Shen An had said, and finally said angrily: "What do you mean by pulling it out? Is this to disgust me? If it weren't for the fact that he has a lot of credit, I would I will take care of him today."

Han Qi felt disgusted when he heard it. He also had a piece of ambergris at home. He would occasionally grind it to make incense and then burn it. The smell... was real!

But according to Shen An, this ambergris is the vomit and excrement of a giant whale, or is produced by eating indigestible things, just like humans...

Ouyang Xiu suddenly said: "This is indigestible... Your Majesty, my stomach has been bad for a while. I pooped whatever I ate, especially bean sprouts, which were cut into pieces... I didn't see any packages!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Zeng Gongliang coughed violently, Han Qi looked blank, and Zhao Shu was stunned.

I am angry, but your comforting example is inappropriate, right?

You eat what you poop, who are you trying to disgust?

Ouyang Xiu also felt that what he said was a little disgusting, so he laughed dryly and said: "As for vomiting, I know that occasionally I vomit after drinking too much, and the food is wrapped in mucus..."

"alright."

Zhao Shu turned pale and felt that he could save his lunch.

Why does Ouyang Xiu speak so carelessly? Could it be that he drank too much?

Chen Zhongheng walked over and pretended to go to the palace gate. When he passed by Ouyang Xiu, he sniffed and nodded, indicating that old Ouyang had indeed been drinking.

This old guy!

Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go find some old fishermen and ask? Or the officers and men of the Navy. Some of them are left behind and you can ask."

Zhao Shu nodded, he also wanted to know where this ambergris came from.

The Imperial City Division was dispatched, and Zhang Baibian personally supervised it and quickly brought several old fishermen and navy soldiers into the palace.

"Most of these fishermen are useless and have never been to the sea. Only the navy is useful." Zhao Xu did not go to discuss the matter, but he was paying attention.

The fishermen were intercepted, and they were all a little unwilling. They said they wanted to meet the officials, and then Huangchengsi gave them all a sum of money and sent them all away.

Several navy sergeants entered the hall and saluted cautiously.

"Do you know about ambergris?"

Han Qi asked questions on his behalf.

These few people knew about ambergris, so they were brought here.

"Know."

"Then do you know where ambergris comes from? If you know, you will be rewarded!"

Whatever you do these days, you have to get inducements, either to get promoted or to make a fortune, otherwise no one will pay attention to you.

"The villain knows."

A sergeant said: "When I went to sea, there was a colleague who was a fisherman. He said that his family had picked up ambergris at sea, and it was a big piece... But it was discovered later, and they got angry... ...In the end, his father also died..."

This is a sad story, but what Han Qi wanted was the origin of ambergris. He coughed dryly and said, "I know the origin of ambergris, so don't talk about it."

"The villain knows."

A sergeant said: "When I went to sea, I once encountered a giant whale that died. Some fishermen cut open its belly nearby and said there was some ambergris. The villain thought that the whale was a dragon, but The fishermen said it was a giant whale. As for the dragon, they were just ignorant natives. They had never seen such a huge thing, so they were afraid and called it a dragon."

Damn it!

Are we all ignorant natives?

Damn it!

The emperor and his ministers were a little embarrassed, and the sergeant continued: "Later, we helped to cut open the giant whale. It was so fat. It was all fat. Later, when we cut it open all the way, it was just meat... This kind of giant whale only eats cuttlefish." , after cutting it open, I saw a big cuttlefish, with some bones and so on... not melted..."

Zhao Shu's body relaxed a little, feeling very empty.

"There was still ambergris in the intestines, but it was pitch black and very smelly. We didn't believe it was ambergris at the time, but the fisherman said it was, and he took these pieces of smelly ambergris now. , is going to be soaked at a beach that only my family knows about. When my descendants pick it up again in a few decades, the ambergris will turn white..."

Zhao Shu sighed and said, "I understand."

It turned out to be something from the intestines of a giant whale. Shen An was right?

Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, UU Reading www.uukａnshu.net Miscellaneous Society teaches many lessons that are difficult for others to understand, and this is probably one of them. Those people who traveled around back then must have seen such giant whales and their ...How would you know otherwise?”

Zhao Shu's cheek twitched, and he thought, can he stop saying anything about pulling it out?

Seeing Zhao Shu's kindness, the sergeant said boldly: "I think your majesty is wise!"

Zhao Shu had heard many of the words of the sage, mostly from ministers, but had never heard of the flattery of such a sergeant. Moreover, when he saw that the sergeant was sincere, his heart moved and he said, "Why?"

The sergeant said: "That ambergris is the shit of a giant whale. Those rich people bought it and burned it with great care... They thought it was ambergris, which is funny."

Well!

"His Majesty refuses to buy it. It shows that he knows that such things are not good. He is really wise."

The sergeant's flattery was very straightforward. Zhao Shu's face was slightly red, and he looked like he was enjoying being photographed.

But the king and his ministers were cursing in their hearts.

We actually regard the poop of giant whales as treasures...

Those who serve here must abide by the rules, otherwise they will be punished, but at this moment, several servants could not bear it any longer, they all lowered their heads and their bodies were trembling...

I really can’t bear it anymore!

Zhao Shu returned to the harem and said happily: "Dalang has sent a lot of ambergris. The official family will not have to worry about it in the future."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Yes!"

"Da Lang is really a filial and good boy. Since there are so many officials, can I give you some every day from now on?"

Zhao Shu hesitated.

Do you want to continue smelling this giant whale's poop?

Very confused!

…

The third update is here, good night everyone!
