Chapter 503: Quanzhou Pu Family

Although Wang Anshi and his son trusted Shen Long, they were not without caution. They were always worried that he would use various methods that they did not understand to show off. Fortunately, Shen Long had also paid attention to this before and did not disclose information that should not be disclosed to too many people. But now that he had done such a thing, Wang Anshi and his son were inevitably worried.

"Go!" Wang Anshi waved his hand and turned to look at the door of Sima Guang's house. The door of Sima Guang's house was now closed. Wang Anshi remained silent. As a Confucian, I am afraid that he would have to cut his own way when encountering such a situation. Sima Guang Although they had different political views with him, they had known each other for many years and were considered close friends. If his close friend died because of this, Wang Anshi would inevitably feel unhappy.

Wang Yu came to the outside of the city to find Shen Long, and immediately dismissed everyone and asked about the matter, "Dare you ask Taoist Shen, about the stone lion that flew from Yongchang Mausoleum to Sima Guang's gate yesterday..." He has been studying with Shen Long for a long time. Now, I have become more concise in my speech, without beating around the bush, and directly talked about the key points.

"Well, I did it." Shen Long nodded, "Sima Guang's move was to destroy the Song Dynasty. I can't sit idly by and ignore it."

"But...but...Sima Guang just said it out of anger. The officials will not really let him get what he wants, and there are many people in the court who oppose Sima Guang." Wang Yu stammered.

"The Song Dynasty finally regained the courage to expand outwards? How could it be destroyed by Sima Guang? And it is not necessarily impossible for him to do so. In the future, wouldn't he return the six states of Hexi? These are the soldiers of the Song Dynasty How can it be that what was recaptured in a bloody battle can be wasted just because of one person?" Shen Long became extremely angry when he talked about this matter. How could the Song Dynasty produce such useless cowards? Even those in the Qing Dynasty Not even as good as scum.

Those traitorous scumbags in the Qing Dynasty were at least invaded by foreign troops. Fortunately for Sima Guang, Xixia didn't send many troops yet, so he took the initiative to give in.

"This move is no worse than when Shi Jingtang, the son-emperor of the Khitan, sent the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to the Khitan." Shen Long spread out the map of Hehuang and said to Wang Yu, "If we capture this place, we can attack Xixia from both sides. Strategically The advantage lies with the Song Dynasty, but once it is returned, the Song Dynasty will once again fall into the threat of Xixia. How can we lose the strategic advantage that we finally obtained with such difficulty?"

"Even so, it's not easy to use such means, right? That's Taizu's mausoleum!" Wang Yu said hesitantly. In his opinion, this was definitely disrespectful.

"If Zhao Kuangyin comes back to life and hears Sima Guang say these words, he will hit him with an ax at least. I just did what Zhao Kuangyin wanted to do but didn't do." Zhao Kuangyin was a violent person who hit people with a jade ax in the court. Sima Guang would never dare to say such things in front of him.

Wang Yu was silent. Zhao Kuangyin was no better than these future monarchs. He was a military commander and had always been extremely keen on opening up territories. Shen Long's move was definitely in line with Zhao Kuangyin's wishes.

"Hey, it's just a pity that Sima Jun is dead." Wang Yu sighed. If something like this happened, even if the court didn't punish him, Sima Guang might not have the shame to live.

"Although Sima Guang deserves death for his actions, it is not necessary to die. He is not suitable to be an official. However, people can make the best use of their talents by editing history." Let him get out of the court and study "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "This matter can also be done. In this way, why did this stone lion fall from the sky and not kill Sima Guang? If he committed suicide, wouldn't he be committing injustice?"

Wang Yu himself would understand this meaning, "Just let the court give him the money and return it. Without Sima Guang in the court, Jiefu should be able to relax for a while, right?"

Wang Yu had always had such an idea. Now that he heard that Shen Long did not intend to kill him, he let out a sigh of relief and opened his mouth. There were some things he wanted to ask but did not dare to ask.

"Don't worry. Unless someone wants to betray the country, I will not do such a thing." Shen Long saw his thoughts. With this warning, those civil servants will discuss the war again in the future. You should think more about it when you visit, right? You know, there is more than one stone lion outside Yongchang Mausoleum.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your understanding." Wang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, "Now that Sima Jun is actually trapped in his house, I have to rush back to avoid any accidents."

"Let's go, oh, by the way, Zhang Zihou should be back, right? If it's convenient for Yuanze, he can send someone to invite Zhang Zihou and Lu Jifu. The school has built several new ship models, and I want them to see them." Shen Long said that both Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing were from Fujian, and many of their clansmen were involved in maritime trade, and they were also corrupt officials. If this thing was given to them, they would definitely try to expand outward.

Wang Yu left in a hurry. In the evening, Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing came over. When Shen Long took out the ship models, they were overjoyed. They had long coveted the businesses that Shen Long had supported before. It's just that the northwest is out of reach and it's hard to compete with those royal relatives for business, so I've been holding back until now.

"The manufacturing methods and operating methods of these ships can be taught to you. In addition, you can take the sextant to determine the sea route at sea, as well as the nautical charts." Shen Long gave many benefits in one breath, just relying on the northwest and The industrial upstarts around Kaifeng are not enough. How can the Industrial Revolution leave the Age of Discovery?

"Dunzi should abide by the Taoist priest's rules. Ask the Taoist priest to tell you how much money should be paid for the first time. I will never be vague. In addition, the profit sharing will be sent to Kaifeng on time in the next ten years." Zhang Dun said without hesitation.

"The same goes for our Lu family!" Lu Huiqing replied in the same way, and then looked at Zhang Dun, "Zi Hou, from now on our families will work together in harmony." He also knew that Shen Long didn't like to see them fighting among themselves. .

"That's how it should be." Zhang Dun nodded.

"The patent transfer fee will naturally be paid, and the profits for the next ten years will also be indispensable. When the money arrives, I will arrange for students to go to Fujian to help you build ships and teach your sailors how to sail and control the ship. Identifying directions at sea, how to read charts..." With these ships that were hundreds of years ahead of their time, the Han people ruled the world on the sea.

"In addition, I want you to help me with something." Shen Long said again.

"I am grateful for Taoist Priest's instructions, but whatever I can do is absolutely unequivocal." This is a gift of gold, mountains and silver to myself. No matter how difficult the request is, I must fulfill it, Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing replied firmly.

"Have you ever heard of Quanzhou Pujia Jifu?" Shen Long asked.

"The Pu family is a well-known large merchant in Quanzhou. They hold the route to Dashi. Of course I have heard of it." Lu Huiqing replied.
