A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Gao Taotao was like a market woman at the moment, wiping tears with a handkerchief in one hand and grabbing her son's sleeve with the other to complain.

"Are those people easy to get along with? Killing enemies is what warriors do. Where is your turn as a prince? If you have something wrong with you, how can you let me live..."

Gao Taotao choked up again. Zhao Xu had a black line on his head. He raised his eyebrows at Zhao Hao beside him, signaling him to think of a move.

But how dare Zhao Hao send him as cannon fodder, so he had no choice but to help.

"You said you, it was still night, if someone shot an arrow..." Gao Taotao became more and more sad as he thought about it, as if his son had been shot to death by an arrow...

Zhao Xu said helplessly: "Mom, the child is here."

I'm not dead! I am alive and well.

Gao Taotao tapped his forehead with his index finger and said angrily: "It was almost gone."

Zhao Xu wanted to die.

"Back then, your father and I were having a hard time, but I didn't let you suffer. I let you go out to play, just because I was afraid that you would be wronged... My father and mother endured all the glares in the house and didn't let you know..."

"...It's not easy to get pregnant in ten months. When I was pregnant with you, your father happened to be ill. I tried to persuade your father, but you were still fussing in your belly..."

"Later, when you got older, you learned to run all over the place. At that time, I was worried about you bumping into each other, and I wished I could follow you all the time..."

Zhao Xu said with a bitter face: "Mother, I understand."

"you do not know!"

Gao eloquently talked about parenting, which made him feel a little sad and unable to control himself. He wished he could talk about it for three days and three nights.

"You said you weren't good..."

Zhao Xusheng stood there helplessly, while Wang Chongnian from outside ventured in to wink.

Your Majesty, Shen An said he has a solution!

But Zhao Xu didn't call him, so I don't know why he kept winking.

"...Back then I...huh?"

Gao Taotao turned around and saw Wang Chongnian winking at him. He was furious and shouted: "Come here!"

"saint."

Two female officers came in from outside.

Gao Taotao pointed at Wang Chongnian and said: "Take it down! Beat him!"

"I obey my command!"

These two female officials are close to Gao Taotao. One is tall and burly named Feiyan, and the other looks mean and named Zhaojun.

Feiyan and Zhaojun are both ancient beauties. If they see these two guys with the same name, they will definitely vomit three liters of blood.

"Sage, spare your life..."

Just when Wang Chongnian exclaimed, Feiyan went over to pin his arm, and Zhaojun came up and grabbed his waist and ribs, and twisted hard...

"oh……"

Wang Chongnian immediately lost his fighting ability and was pinned to the ground by two women.

Gao Taotao was furious and came out to jail, saying: "They are all careless. Anyone around Da Lang who dares to have ulterior motives or disrespect will be kicked out..."

"ah……"

Wang Chongnian was hit with a board and raised his head and screamed, but he still winked at Zhao Xu.

King, Shen An is looking for you!

But Zhao Xu still didn't see his hint. Instead, Gao Taotao saw that he was unrepentant and cursed: "What's going on?"

Wang Chongnian was annoyed, Zhao Xu coughed dryly and said, "Just tell me."

Not to mention that Wang Chongnian would definitely be beaten to death today.

Wang Chongnian gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Shen An is outside asking for an audience."

Gao Taotao sneered: "If you want to see me, ask for me. Why are you so sneaky?"

This reason is very good, so Gao Taotao suspects that Shen An is up to something.

Thinking of that boy, Gao Taotao's vigilance was raised to the highest level.

Zhao Xu felt nervous, worried that Wang Chongnian had said the wrong thing.

But Wang Chongnian said with a sincere face: "The young one is afraid when he sees the saint..."

Gao Taotao laughed, and Feiyan said angrily: "The saint is kind, what are you afraid of?"

Gao Taotao waved his hand and said, "That's all."

She was spraying her son just now, so it was natural for Wang Chongnian to be afraid.

Do you want to be gentler in the future?

She thought about it and decided not to do it, lest she be looked down upon.

"Go ahead."

Although there was still a lot to say in his stomach, Gao Taotao decided to endure it a little longer.

Zhao Xu was granted amnesty and ran away. Later someone came to report: "Sage, the king has run away..."

Damn it!

Everyone felt that this matter could not end, and they couldn't help but take a peek at Gao Taotao.

Gao Taotao clenched his fists and said with a smile: "The child is just having fun, it doesn't get in the way."

This is a pretense!

Everyone knew that Zhao Xu was going to be in trouble.

She suppressed her anger and went back, and when she and Zhao Shu had dinner together in the afternoon, she complained: "Then Shen An has been leading Dalang all day long and has not learned well, so he has to find a way."

Zhao Shu was worried about family matters, so he advised: "The child is still young, isn't he just killing the enemy? My ancestors also killed him back then, and there was nothing wrong with him."

Gao Taotao said plausibly: "But those were troubled times, and now we are in prosperous times!"

"The official, the saint, the king is here."

Zhao Shu was having a headache from his wife's nagging, and when he heard this, he said: "Bring it in!"

The waiter looked embarrassed. Gao Taotao looked carefully and felt that the man seemed to be smiling, so he became angry.

Do you think my family's headache is funny?

"beat!"

"The little ones are guilty."

Before he could take action, a woman came in from outside.

Gao Taotao fell back in anger and looked at Zhao Shu with thorny eyes.

What a good Zhao Shu you are, while you are saying that you will work hand in hand with me for the rest of your life and never cheat on me, you actually...

"I've met my father, I've met my mother."

Well!

Gao Taotao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this voice. When the woman looked up, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Dalang...Dalang, you are actually wearing women's clothes...hahahaha!"

…

"Is Caiyi's entertainment useful?"

The next day Zhao Xu went to Jinmingchi, where Shen An was waiting early.

"it works."

Zhao Xu pointed to his forehead and said, "My forehead is all blue."

"Why?"

Yang Zhuoxue and Guoguo were swimming in the lake, and the person rowing the boat was Qin Zhen. This standard was not low.

"My mother told me not to wear women's clothes from now on, so as not to change my temperament."

A master of women's clothing!

Shen An was a little regretful that he didn't see it with his own eyes, otherwise he would be able to get a sea view villa after a few hundred years if someone painted it.

The ship docked, and Yang Zhuoxue and Guoguo came to greet them. Zhao Xu said with a smile: "We can still play for a while, but if it gets colder, we can't. You can make a fire and barbecue."

"I'm ready."

Shen An would not treat his stomach badly when he went out. Over there, Wen Xiaozhong and others had already set up the grill and prepared all kinds of ingredients.

Qin Zhen came over to salute, and Zhao Xu was quite satisfied with him, "Is the navy now considered an army?"

Qin Zhen shook his head and said, "No."

"What else is missing?"

Zhao Xu felt that having a warrior in his hands felt really good, at least he would feel confident when facing civilian officials.

It's just that he needs to think about how to balance the relationship.

"The navy still has one battle to go before it can become an army."

Zhao Xu understood and said, "Where is the right place?"

Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment, glanced at the north, and finally said: "Water bandits."

There were many water bandits in the Song Dynasty, but they were all small in scale, so Qin Zhen said this somewhat unwillingly.

Shen An knew what he was thinking, so he suggested: "How about staying in the north? I heard that there are people smuggling... this..."

Smuggling exists in every dynasty and in every generation.

But there is a navy stationed in Dengzhou, and they have to take action to clean it up. When will it be the turn of the Tiger Wing Navy?

Zhao Xu nodded: "Those who don't go to the Shipping Department are profiteers and should be dealt with."

When Qin Zhen heard this, he said happily: "Can we clear out the Liao warships? They are said to be very arrogant over there, and the Dengzhou navy dare not provoke them."

"It depends."

Shen An felt that Qin Zhen didn't quite understand the ways of being an official, so after Zhao Xu went back to ask for instructions on the matter, he gave some advice.

"Some things can be said but not done, and some things can be said but cannot be said..."

Qin Zhen suddenly realized it and said gratefully: "Thank you very much for your advice. I am very grateful to you."

This is the way to be an official!

Qin Zhen had received help from Shen An when he first arrived in Bianliang. At this moment, he couldn't help but said with emotion: "Most people would hide the way to become an official, but waiting for the imperial edict has a broad mind and is so generous to the lower officials... "

"It's just a small thing."

Being able to win over this future navy boss gave Chen An an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

And the other Chang Jianren was even more grateful to him. In time, Shen An's sea policy will definitely prevail among the navy.

The win-over must be thorough. Shen An asked pleasantly: "What's left?"

Qin Zhen scratched his head, "The swords, guns, swords and halberds are all good, and the sergeants are also okay."

"When has it been?"

Shen An said with a sad look on his face: "When has it been? You still want to fight your opponents with swords and guns? That is irresponsible to the soldiers!"

Qin Zhen was stunned and said without knowing why: "Wai Zhao, the navy has been killing enemies like this for thousands of years!"

"It's been a thousand years, but now it's the Song Dynasty!"

Shen An was thinking about the possibility of moving the gunpowder cans onto the ship.

The first is storage, which must be moisture-proof and fire-proof; the second is the means of launching.

"Maybe the trebuchet was moved to the ship?"

"sure!"

Shen An was a little moved, feeling that this was a major initiative that changed naval warfare, and that he, Shen, would be famous in history.

Think about it, in the future, the common people found that their territory was so large. Later, when I looked at the history books, it turned out that it was Shen's foresight many years ago and the continuous invention of new weapons that led to today's happy days.

Dry!

Shen An said confidently: "Go and find the carpenter."

Building a trebuchet is not a complicated matter, it just takes time.

Shen An took the opportunity to take his wife and sister boating on the lake.

He was cool and unrestrained in Jinmingchi, but Wang Yu was scolding people with a cold face in Wuxue Lane.

The three houses in front of me have all been opened up, but there are flaws in the construction of the school building.

"There are five hundred and three more bricks and stones. Who will tell me what's going on?"

A group of craftsmen stood on the edge in a daze, all looking at the foreman.

The foreman laughed dryly and said, "Did Wang Langjun see it wrong?"

Wang Yu sneered: "A total of 6,409 bricks have been purchased so far, of which 5,916 have been used. But you said the bricks are gone. Where did the 503 bricks go?"

The foreman had sweat on his forehead and said with a smile: "You just glanced at it a few times. I'm afraid you saw it wrong."

Snapped!

Wang Hao threw the account book in his face and said coldly: "Someone is counting."

Over there are Wu Tong and others he brought, UU Reading www.uukanshu. netｔThey just counted every brick that was used.

The foreman leaned over and picked up the account book and said, "Would you like to take another look at it?"

You just took a few glances and said that someone was greedy for bricks. Is this a scam?

As a foreman, he has seen countless people, whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, he feels that he can fool them.

Wang Yu came to find trouble at a young age. He was young and energetic, and he would be done with it if he fooled him.

"Bring me a pen!"

Wu Tong handed over the writing brush, and Wang Yu grabbed the account book, listed more than ten figures at the back, and then threw it to the foreman.

"Not just bricks, but also wood. You even covet glutinous rice... report it to the official!"

The foreman took the account book and looked at the more than ten figures and was dumbfounded.

"You just looked at it, how come it's all right!"
