Yesterday, Wang Yu only worked for half a day when he met Wang Shao. Today, he worked hard all day and was exhausted when he went back in the evening. Despite this, Wang Yu still insisted on finishing today's diary and bringing it to Shen. Take a look.

"Well, we have made a lot of progress this time, but there are still a few things that are wrong..." Shen Long guided Wang Yu to make modifications, and after a few days, Wang Yu's experimental diary was written in a decent manner. .

The land was also plowed. Shen Long, Wang Yu and Wu Xiaoyi planted all the prepared seeds. The next step was to wait for these seeds to break through the soil and germinate.

Taking advantage of this gap, Shen Long took Wang Yu to visit Sado Island. This trip opened Wang Yu's eyes. It turned out that our territory of the Song Dynasty looked like this from the air. "The magic of the immortal family is indeed endless."

Well, this is a bit bad. Theology can hinder scientific progress, so Shen Long quickly lied, "This is not some magical spell. It is also the result of studying things to gain knowledge, just like what I showed you before. Fire blunderbuss are all made by craftsmen. With the current technological level of the Song Dynasty, it is impossible to fly so fast and steadily, but it is a very simple thing to take people into the sky."

When I get back, I will take out the hot air balloon and let you see it! Ignoring the shocked Wang Yu, Shen Long speeded up across the ocean and arrived at Sado Island.

Based on the researched information, Shen Long selected several places with gold mines, buried explosives and detonated them, exploding a lot of ore that shone with gold and silver.

"This is indeed gold and silver! Such a large area is full of gold and silver mines?" Wang Yu held the gold ore and silver ore and almost drooled when he looked at it. If he took this island, there would be no need to worry about reform. No Money.

"Let's find a place to draw a map of Sado Island, and then mark the places where gold ore and silver ore are found." Shen Long ordered, intending to take it back to fool Zhao Xu.

Wang Zhu immediately went to work happily. He spent more than half an hour and drew a map that was barely legible. He also marked the ores with numbers and indicated where they were found. Waiting for him After doing this, Shen Long took him back to the outside of Kaifeng City.

During this period, it was still falling on the sea and sprinkled some seawater on the map. No matter how fake it is, it has to be decent, right? Since this map was brought back by a maritime trader, how could it not smell like the sea?

Back in the city, Wang Anshi hired someone to identify the ores and determined that these were rare and good ores with extremely high gold and silver content. So he immediately took action, arranged the manpower to play the role of sea merchants, and secretly took the ores with him. Taking these ores and the old map, he went into the palace to find Zhao Xu.

When they first heard the news, Zhao Xu felt as awkward as Wang Anshi. Hey, there was nothing he could do. He was such a cowardly emperor. He was used to being bullied by the Khitan and Dangxiang. He didn't realize that he could bully other people.

But after Wang Anshi talked about the amount of gold and silver on Sado Island and the current financial difficulties faced by the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu finally cheered up. After all, this emperor had also worn armor, and he was more or less better than other emperors in the Song Dynasty. The emperor had more courage, otherwise he would not have launched a war against Xia.

And this time they faced the Japanese again. The Song Dynasty may be afraid of the Khitans and Dangxiang people, but not so afraid of the Japanese. In addition, the plan proposed by Wang Anshi was to cheat or buy, not to send troops to attack. Even if it failed, it would not be the case. There would be too serious consequences, so Zhao Xu agreed.

It’s just that the exchanges between the two countries are not that simple. The Song Dynasty maintains its own identity and will definitely not send envoys to the Japanese country first. A big country must have the magnanimity of a big country; instead, it will reveal some rumors first, attracting the Japanese envoys to visit first, and then the Japanese envoys.

Only after inviting again and again will the envoys of the Song Dynasty go to the Japanese country.

Literary men can't do other things, but they are very good at doing this kind of thing. Wang Anshi gave Zhang Dun a little bit of information, and Zhang Dun immediately arranged for someone to do it.

The Zhang family was a large family in Fujian, and the family also engaged in maritime trade. Although the Zhang family mainly took the southern route, they also had contacts with the Ninghai Zhou family, which dominated maritime trade with Japan.

The ancestors of the Zhou family in Ninghai had a good relationship with Fujiwara Yoromichi, a Japanese official. He was appointed by Fujiwara Noriichi as the envoy of Dazaifu, Japan. He tried to establish formal relations with the Song Dynasty. However, due to incomplete procedures, the ancestors of the Zhou family were stopped by the Mingzhou City Ship Bureau.

, he was not allowed to enter Beijing.

Although many years have passed, the Zhou family's influence in the Japanese country has not faded, and it is not very troublesome to get the status of an envoy again.

The Ninghai Zhou family now had enough money, but no official position. Zhang Dun offered a little bait, and they immediately took the bait. They hurriedly agreed and immediately took people to handle the matter.

Just when the sweet potatoes, corn, and peanut seedlings were gradually growing luxuriantly, the Japanese envoys arrived in Kaifeng. It seemed that Su Shi and Zhang Dun would be leaving for the Japanese country soon.

Wang Anshi and Zhang Dun had a private conversation. No one knows what they talked about. They just heard that Zhang Dun was in a very good mood that night. Zhang Dun was very interested in fame and fortune. Now that he encountered such an opportunity to make contributions, once this happened,

If something is done, you will definitely be reused, and of course you will be overjoyed.

When Su Shi and Zhang Dun left Kaifeng and headed for Zhejiang to cross the sea to Japan, the peanuts, corns, and sweet potatoes planted by Shen Long and Wang Yu were all ripe.

On the day of harvest, Wang Anshi, Wang Shao and others were present in person. When they saw the rich harvest, they were so excited that Wang Shao almost cried. He had planted all these with his own hands.

On the last scale, the yield of sweet potatoes exceeds two thousand kilograms. Although the yield of corn per mu is not as good as that of sweet potatoes, and the yield of peanuts per mu is only two to three hundred kilograms, the oil content of peanuts is extremely high and can be used to extract oil.

"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the officials and find a place to plant these grains outside Kaifeng City." After looking at the seeds planted now, Shen Long's few acres of land are definitely not enough. Most people don't have such a large area of ​​land.

Wang Anshi had set his sights on the Zhao family's imperial village, which would become the imperial village in later generations.

"Yuanze can be responsible for this matter. Yuanze has worked hard these days and he has learned how to handle the food." Shen Long said. At the beginning of the year, Wang Yu was still a handsome young man, but now he has become dark and thin.

, but the whole person has become much more energetic, and is no longer as weak as before.

"Then what is Taoist Shen going to do next?" Wang Anshi and Wang Yu were worried at the same time. Is this guy going to leave?
