A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The former Izuyun Temple had the eight-faced exquisiteness of Sheqing and the alchemy of Shehui. The two merged into one, making Izuyun Temple one of the best Taoist temples in Bianliang, with great popularity.

From a long distance away, Zhao Shu saw the smoke column.

"what is that?"

Shen An glanced at it and said casually: "The official family, that is the future of swords and guns and the Song Dynasty."

The smoke was billowing, and it looked like an evil dragon.

If in future generations, people would probably make a phone call immediately if they saw such thick smoke.

——Crooked, crooked...someone is polluting the environment!

But in this era, steel is swords and guns, and chimneys are productivity...

Zhao Shu thought for a while and felt that Shen An's words couldn't be more right.

"That's the chimney of Izumo-Kan, right? Below that is steel. Steel can be used to make swords and guns...I heard from Sansi that Izumo-Kan pays a lot of steel every month. Nowadays, many swords and guns rely on the steel produced here. , Well, this is the future of swords and guns and the Song Dynasty..."

He sighed and said: "How wonderful it would be if the sky of the Song Dynasty were filled with smoke pillars like this!"

Shen An thought about the spectacular appearance of the Song Dynasty where the sky was filled with smoke pillars, and felt that it was more like the end of the world.

Han Qi said: "Yes! If there were ten and hundreds of Chuyun Temples in Bianliang, what foreign enemies would the Song Dynasty have to fear? Officials and ministers felt comfortable smelling this smell and wished they could move their families here. "

A slightly pungent smell permeated the area. Shen An was feeling guilty and felt that this was not good for his health. After hearing Han Qi's words, he felt that his moral standard had improved a step further.

Even Han Qi wants to move here, so let’s continue with Izumo-Kan.

As soon as they arrived at Izumo Temple, Shi Qing came over after hearing the news. When he saw Zhao Shu, his face was full of surprise and joy, "I've seen the official's house, and it was strange that the statue of Taoist Master suddenly shook in the morning, and the old cow raised in the temple suddenly ran away. I looked out from the door and wandered around several times. It turned out that the official family was coming..."

"Ahem!"

Shen An coughed dryly, indicating that his performance was almost enough.

The statue of Taoist Master is shaking. Are you sure it's not an earthquake?

Lao Niu ran to the gate and looked around. Was this a sign of an earthquake?

Everyone present was a master of reading. Han Qi suddenly said: "Is this the earth dragon turning over?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Zeng Gongliang said: "Yes, I have seen such signs in books..."

Damn it!

Bao Zheng said subconsciously: "Guan family, leave quickly!"

What?

She Qing said in confusion: "This is..."

It's your sister!

Shen An felt that since Izumo-gwan gave up on alchemy, his ability to treat people with kindness has become worse.

"This... is just an illusion, yes, an illusion." Shen An glanced at She Qing, "This person is called She Qing, and he is She Hui's junior brother. He has been since childhood..."

Shen An pointed to his head and said sympathetically: "He has had some problems with his brain since he was a child. He would often say something like seeing ghosts and gods, or a tree suddenly ran away from the temple... As time went by, everyone got used to it. .”

"oh!"

Everyone was relieved. She Qing wanted to explain, but Shen An walked over and whispered: "If the officials think that the earth dragon has turned over, just wait for death!"

When the time comes for the capital to be under martial law, but when the army and the people are ready to prepare, they find that this is just a joke... She Qing can really die.

She Qing's heart trembled, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes! Pindao's disease... it will attack from time to time, and when it attacks, you can often see ghosts everywhere in the temple... Wuwuwu..."

Shen An covered the guy's mouth and said awkwardly: "He's talking nonsense again."

Look at the faces of Zhao Shu and the prime ministers, they are all turning blue, and they look around from time to time, obviously worried about something.

This turned Earth Dragon upside down and turned into ghosts all over the place. Shen An felt that She Qing should go into seclusion.

"Um...send Sheqing to retreat, and come out when you don't go crazy."

Later, when everyone came to the back, the smell became stronger.

"I've met the officials."

She Hui's face looked increasingly red, like an alcoholic.

Zhao Shu looked at the steel-making furnace with great interest, and then was taken to the side room.

There are a lot of steel bars stacked in this room.

"Please take a look, officials. This is the good steel made by Pindao."

She Hui said confidently: "After the steel came out, Brother Shen Dao asked Pindao to make a few knives to try. They are so sharp!"

As he spoke, he untied a long knife from the wall and pulled it out casually.

The two guards immediately stood in front of Zhao Shu and stared at She Hui with alert expressions.

When he drew his sword in front of the official, it was a good thing that these guards didn't rush to kill him.

She Qing is crazy, maybe She Hui also has some problems?

Shen An's head was covered with black lines, but She Hui said unconsciously: "This sword is much better than the swords in the army today, but it is also more expensive. The Taoists in the temple need to eat and dress... Officials, please give me more Some money..."

She Hui couldn't speak, and what she said made everyone in the court think they were greedy like villains, bastards who refused to give money after receiving benefits.

Zhao Shu looked at Bao Zheng with some confusion.

Lao Baocai had just stepped down from the post of Third Secretary Envoy, so it should be his fault.

"The officials gave us a lot of money, but here... a lot of ore is consumed every day... These ores are brought from afar, and it costs a lot of money."

She Hui glared at Bao Zheng and felt that he was treating her like a loser, so she swung the knife.

puff!

There is something on the side made of leather on the outside and wrapped in multiple layers of straw mats on the inside, specially used for testing knives.

With this sword strike, this thing was cut off.

Zhao Shu went over to take a look and praised: "What a good knife."

The cut is neat, so it's obviously a good knife.

"With this sharp blade in the army, I think the soldiers will be more courageous in killing the enemy... Let the Third Division give more money and food in the future."

"Thank you, officials."

After She Hui's task of asking for money was completed, he had no energy to accompany this group of people. He made an excuse and said: "The official family, the poor Taoist family still has a recipe to discuss with others, so I went."

"Go ahead."

After She Hui left, Zhao Shu praised: "These are the people who do things. If there were more people like this in the Song Dynasty, why not worry about the prosperous age!"

Han Qi nodded and said: "This Shehui is a master of alchemy. Later he changed his profession to steelmaking. His style is also extraordinary. This temple is quiet and quiet. If possible, I would like to live here for ten and a half days, so that I can cultivate myself." Heart."

"topple!"

boom!

Before Han Qi finished speaking, there was a Taoist unloading the goods behind him, making a very loud sound.

Is this the tranquility you are talking about?

Han Qi blushed and said, "There is no one guarding this place. The officials and people from the Imperial City Department have left their posts without permission."

"I met Prime Minister Han."

A Taoist priest suddenly appeared from the room on the side. He bowed his head and said, "This villain is a secret agent of the Imperial City Department."

Old Han, you actually spoke ill of the people of the Imperial City Division in front of them. Isn't this embarrassing? And Zhang Baibian will definitely remember your kindness and look for opportunities to give you a guy in the future.

So big mouths can sometimes get into trouble.

Everyone looked at a lot of places, and then they were satisfied and ready to go back.

When passing by a monastery, the Taoist accompanying him said it was the residence of the temple master Shehui.

"The master of the temple often retreats to calculate some things, so it is very quiet here, and no one dares to disturb..."

There was a sound of snoring, and Zhao Shu asked: "What is this?"

When the Taoist heard this, he bowed his head and remained silent.

Didn’t Shehui just say that he wanted to explore something? But whose snoring sound belongs to it?

Why!

Zhao Shu smiled bitterly and said: "Those who work in places like this are all serious. I am an emperor, but here I am an idler, disturbing them. It shouldn't be! Next time you go out, you should be simple and simple. It is best to hide your identity. In this way, everyone All convenient.”

Standing outside the gate of Izumo Temple, Zhao Shu suddenly asked: "If such good steel can be used to create countless swords and guns, might the Song Dynasty be invincible in the world?"

"I just saw the object for testing the sword. In comparison, it is tougher than a human waist. Therefore, if this sword is used to kill enemy troops, it will be indestructible."

Han Qi's words were a bit revealing. When he saw Zhao Shu frowning, he said sarcastically: "If there are such good swords in the army, I think the Liao people will suffer even more."

Zeng Gongliang also nodded and said: "I am thinking about this. The two armies faced each other and swung their swords at each other. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty struck down with one sword, and the enemy's long sword was broken into two pieces... Then he slashed his head with a sword, and the battle was accomplished... It's so refreshing!"

He clenched his hands into fists and said excitedly: "Guan Jia, when I think of this, I wish I could lead my army to attack and defeat the enemies of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Shu glanced at him and said, "Zeng Qing is so heroic."

There is no follow-up, which shows that Zhao Shu is well aware of Lao Zeng’s urinary nature. If he were allowed to lead an army into battle, he would most likely be thrown into the street.

"Shen An, what do you think?"

Shen An has been in many fights, and although he is young, he can be considered a veteran.

"Your Majesty, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his weapon. This principle is the same in every profession, and the same is true for the army." Shen An said confidently: "The army of the Song Dynasty now has gunpowder. Cans, kerosene bombs, and divine crossbows can inflict heavy damage on the enemy before engaging the enemy...but what happens after engaging the enemy?"

He called Wen Xiaozhong over, pulled out his long sword, and gestured twice, "With one strike, even if the enemy's long sword continues, there will be a big gap. If you block it later, the sword will most likely be useless." In other words, if our army holds such a long sword, it will have an inherent advantage. With this advantage, the officers and soldiers will be more confident..."

"show me."

Zhao Shu took the long knife and waved it vigorously, but it almost slipped to his waist.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Han Qi supported him and complained: "You are the emperor. No matter how depressed the Song Dynasty is, there is no time for you to wield the sword. If that time comes, all the ministers will die."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "It's just a swing of the sword, but it's so difficult. It's even harder for the soldiers to train every day. I feel a little uneasy. In this way, I can reward the soldiers in the capital with meat."

Zhao Shu swung his sword and almost dodged to his waist, which was a fool's errand, but he immediately rewarded the troops in the capital to turn things around and got out of the predicament immediately.

This is the art of the emperor.

Shen An hoped that Zhao Xu could study more, but the guy had homework today and didn't come.

Zhao Shu finally gave up after cutting off an innocent small tree with one knife. He praised: "Although I don't know how to use swords and guns, I feel that this knife is sharp. What will happen if a Xixia person touches it?"

He suddenly mentioned the Xixia people, and Han Qi said with understanding: "The fighting between the Xixia and Liao people is almost over. The Liao army has reached the end of its offensive and now has the intention to retreat. The Xixia people are so powerful... they have begun provocations in the border areas. "

Shen An couldn't help but become a little angry after hearing the news.
