A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Early winter in Yanzhou is very cold.

When Shen An arrived, the local officials were startled, thinking that the Xixia people were coming to cause trouble.

"Who knows about black oil?"

Shen An asked in the state government office.

Everyone shook their heads, and Zhizhou Wudan said: "Is it possible that you have misunderstood the imperial edict?"

Shen An looked around, and Wu Dan said knowingly: "Let's all disperse."

After the others went out, Shen An said: "Some businessmen know, but the matter must be kept secret. Too much noise... is not good."

There was a coldness in his eyes. The question just now was just a test. Who knows, Heiyou probably won't have to leave and will wait for the subsequent isolation.

Wu Dan thought of the Jingguan he had acquired, and immediately assured him: "Don't worry about it, I will look for it myself."

"You can't find it!"

Shen An was a little disappointed with him, because he learned from the businessman that black oil was in the countryside. There were many people in the countryside who knew about it, but the flow was not large, so he came to seek official support.

The magistrate knew nothing about this and seemed to be an official who did not go to the countryside.

"Keep it secret!"

Before he left, he repeated these words again, which made Wu Dan horrified.

"Mr. Lang, aren't you afraid of alerting others? Initially, no one is interested in black oil. Once the noise becomes louder, I'm afraid it will attract some attention."

Wen Xiaozhong is well aware of this mentality and is good at using it to seize opportunities for assassination.

"The demand will be huge in the future." Shen An said a little tiredly: "After it is found, the place will definitely be blocked, and then the black oil will be continuously collected and transported back to Bianliang. Do you think there is more noise now or at that time? "

Wen Xiaozhong lowered his head and said, "The villain is wrong."

"You are very smart, and there is no need to hide your intelligence." Shen An said with a smile: "I am not that kind of gentleman who is jealous of talents and does not want others to surpass him. Look at the people around him, Yuanze is smart, right? He is so smart that he despairs. Zizhan's poems and articles made me feel ashamed. Zundao's command of the army and martial arts skills made me feel inferior...but they and me are both good brothers."

When you are with people who are stronger than you, you will slowly become stronger.

"It's no fun to be a threshold monkey, and it's even more boring to be the king in a small circle. If you want to swim in the sea, that's what a man is!"

Wen Xiaozhong was silent for a long time. Just when Shen An thought he was thinking about those words, Wen Xiaozhong said: "But your literary ability can crush Zhe Langjun; your martial arts can crush Wang Langjun and Su Langjun..."

Huh!

Shen An stopped and looked at him with surprise on his face.

"You also know a lot of things they don't understand, such as miscellaneous knowledge, diplomacy... You just don't like to show off, otherwise no one can be better than you."

yes!

Shen An suddenly felt that he was very humble. He had so much ability and yet he didn't say anything.

It's easy for me!

All the fatigue dissipated at this moment.

"have a future!"

Shen An patted Wen Xiaozhong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Have a good rest tonight and set out to look for black oil tomorrow."

…

Early the next morning, Shen An followed the three businessmen to the countryside, but when he left the city, he met Wu Dan who was yawning.

"Wu Zhizhou is going to do something?"

Shen An slept well last night and was in good spirits today.

Wu Dan cupped his hands and said, "I stayed up all night last night, wondering if I had neglected my duty. Later I thought about it, and it was true. I didn't even know that there was such a thing under my command. It shows that I am incompetent."

This person reacted very quickly. Shen An had already written a memorial last night. In the memorial, he mentioned Wu Dan and basically said nothing good about it.

"You're in luck!"

Shen An laughed, and Wu Dan was so shocked that he broke into sweat.

Co-author Shen An is really planning to impeach me?

So he took a lot of initiative along the way.

The group arrived at a village just before noon.

"Wang Lao Er! Come out!"

One of the businessmen went to call someone, and soon he brought a man.

"This is a high-ranking official from the capital. Please be honest when I ask you, otherwise the whole family will be redistributed later."

The man bowed his head and said, "I don't dare, little one."

He said he didn't dare, but his eyes rolled around, observing Shen An and his party.

Shen An held out a finger and said, "A certain person wants black oil to make lamp oil, but their place produces too little oil. They say you know where there is plenty... I found it, and it's unambiguous."

"One hundred strings?"

Wang Laoer's eyes showed greed, "It's hard to find that place! Isn't the hundred strings missing?"

The businessman sneered: "Lao Er Wang, one hundred dollars is enough for you to become a rich man, how much more? No matter how much you have, you won't be afraid of being noticed."

"Who dares to worry about it!"

Wang Laoer's eyes became more stern, and he slowly looked at Shen An and the others, as if they were being scraped by a steel knife.

Wu Dan whispered: "Waiting for the imperial edict, the folk customs in this place are fierce."

He was very tough, and Li Zicheng in the future was from the northwest.

The swordsman from the northwest, the wind from the northwest, and the spirits from the northwest...

“It’s a great place.”

Shen An said calmly: "No matter how much money I have, I can give it to you, but are you sure you want it?"

Wang Laoer looked at him sideways and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find that place..."

At first glance, this guy seems to have good skills, especially because his feet are grinding, probably ready to run away at any time.

"Get him!"

Shen An didn't have time to bother with this, so he said to Wu Dan: "Look, all the people in this village will go to work in that place. They will be paid more, but they must keep an eye on them."

Wang Laoer ran back suddenly. He ran all the way to the village and shouted: "Here comes someone!"

puff!

A slender little drill passed over his shoulder and plunged into the soil in front of him.

"Are you trying to run again?" Wen Xiaozhong held a small drill in his hand.

Wang Laoer stopped, turned around slowly, and said with a smile: "I want someone to cook and entertain the nobles."

Then came the search for black oil.

More than ten miles away from the village, between the hills on both sides, Shen An saw a flash of black.

"right here."

Wang Laoer pointed inside and said, "You can often see bubbles, a lot."

"Have a look."

Shen An excitedly rushed in. Wang Laoer immediately took a step back and asked, "The villain doesn't want the money anymore. The villain doesn't want the money anymore."

Shen An and others did not introduce their identities, but he had observed along the way that these people were all official figures.

He thinks black oil is useless, but the official family is different!

Moreover, what officials are best at is settling accounts after the fall, crossing rivers and burning bridges. Now that black oil has been found, will they exile someone?

"It's black oil!"

Shen An squatted on the edge, looking at the small lake made of oil, and said excitedly: "My incendiary bomb is coming! Hahahaha!"

Water warfare is currently the same as land warfare, with long-range bows and crossbows and short-range gang fighting, without any technical content.

Now that the Song Dynasty navy has more earth bombs, it will definitely make those enemies miserable. If there is another incendiary bomb, how can this battle be fought?

A big bubble suddenly rose up on the black lake. The bubble slowly burst, and a smell came out, but Shen An smelled it like it was the most delicious food.

"Get someone!"

Someone returned to the city to report. Wu Dan didn't know if he could escape the danger of being impeached by Shen An, so he wanted to get close. He walked over and said, "This place looks quite big, but what should I do after I finish scooping?"

"There's more down there."

This is pressure coming out from below.

Squirt hard!

Shen An said: "This stuff is so viscous that a lake forms on top, which offsets the pressure, so it stops expanding. Just scoop out the top and dig out the bottom again, and it's guaranteed to spurt out."

Wu Dan asked: "What is pressure?"

Shen An was startled and said, "Something from miscellaneous studies."

Wu Dan then remembered that Shen An was the master of miscellaneous studies, and he solemnly said: "The Mangshan lineage is indeed extraordinary."

I said, can you not mention the Mangshan lineage?

Shen An felt a little scared and said calmly: "It's just a trail."

"Xiaguan..." Wu Dan looked around and whispered: "Xiaguan has admired miscellaneous studies for a long time and has always wanted to learn it, but there is no way. If he doesn't give up after the imperial edict, Xiaguan..."

"Wait!"

Shen An was worried that this guy would suddenly kneel down to become a disciple, so he said sternly: "The Mangshan lineage has a number of disciples to accept. If the number of disciples in a certain place is full, if you accept more, you will violate the destiny. Do you understand that there will be divine punishment?"

"God's punishment?" Wu Dan was a little disappointed. He really wanted to become a disciple.

Of course, studying general subjects was one thing, but he wanted to hug Shen An's thick legs even more.

"Yes, does Lei Jie know?"

Shen An pointed to the sky covered with dark clouds and said: "It's thunder. One strike of lightning will strike you down and kill you. The most powerful one is nine consecutive rounds. That means God is angry and must kill you. If a certain person accepts another disciple, Maybe there will be thirty-six purple sky thunder tribulations...don't dare!"

"Is this so?"

Wu Dan looked up at the sky and felt that the sky was a bit scary.

"There needs to be someone on duty at the top of this mountain."

"The same goes for the other side. Once you find someone peeping, take it down before talking."

Shen An is arranging confidentiality work in high spirits, while the accompanying rural soldiers are preparing to make rice...

They know black oil burns, so they prepare to live on the edge.

"Fuck!"

Shen An saw this and cursed: "This is seeking death! Get away quickly!"

"Mr. Lang, there's no gas here!"

Huang Chun felt that Shen An was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"No oil?" Shen An pointed to the place where they were standing and said, "dig up and take a look."

I brought a hoe with me when I came, and more than a dozen rural soldiers worked together to dig a hole in a short time.

"It stinks!"

"There's black oil!"

The pit was only dug half a meter deep, and oil started to come out from underneath.

"It's like this?" Huang Chun said in surprise: "Mr. Lang, are our feet covered with black oil?"

Thinking of the horror of burning black oil, the village soldiers couldn't help but retreat.

"right."

Shen An pointed to his feet and said: "It's just soaked here. UU read www.uukanshu.net "

"There is a hole under the ground where oil is spraying out. The soil here is loess, which is relatively loose. The black oil soaks in, so as you can see, there is no grass growing here."

Everyone looked around and saw that there was indeed no grass growing in this canyon.

In later generations, oil pollution in this area has become a big problem, but now it is just a trivial matter.

"Move that village."

Wu Dan felt something was wrong when he heard this: "There are so many people talking about the imperial edict! We can keep it secret for a few years at most, and then those people will spread... Why don't we drive them all to the south and find a place to watch, so dark and oily?" The secret is kept."

"A few years is enough."

Shen An felt that this guy was too cruel and a fool.

The first update is here, please vote for me. Ask for any votes. I am so miserable that I have no motivation.
