It's a pity that there were too many screaming people in the dance just now. Chen Yiyi's child's state of mind, she only felt that she was called glory when she married like this, so she screamed the loudest just now, but now, her scream was drowned in a noise, and it didn't attract everyone's attention. By the time Chen Yiyi jumped up, Zhao Xing had already reached out and taken off Kasri's veil.

A face full of Greek sculptures was exposed in front of everyone, with a high nose bridge, deep-set eye sockets, and skin as white as jade, tender as freshly steamed egg whites. Snow bone ice muscle, jade skin coagulation; The curves are soft, undulating and sleek; The skin is soft, smooth and delicate; The dreamy and charming beauty is fair and delicate, and the face without powder highlights the red and bright cherry lips, and the clear water shines out of the hibiscus.

Kasri, who has Seljuk ancestry, has both Arab characteristics and a little trace of Han Chinese in appearance. The hairs on her skin were sparse and smooth like those of a Han Chinese, but white but white like a white person. The two eyes are pale gray, full of seduction, even if they stare at someone indifferently, it will make people's hearts skip a beat.

Chen Yiyi ran fast, Zhao Xing just pulled Kasli up, she had already rushed to Zhao Xing's side, and saw that the matter to Kasli was irreparable, as soon as she turned around, she grabbed the two Arab orchids lying behind Kasri, and dragged them out of the hall. She was small, and she didn't drag the two Arab dancers who insisted, so she immediately stopped and jumped to summon two black female slaves: "Drag it out, drag it out quickly, these two people are not allowed to appear alone in front of Brother Xing in the future, and they will keep an eye on me." ”

Everyone looked at Chen Yiyi's temper in amazement, Su Dongpo was sitting on the soft couch, talking to Yuan Yeping, who was full of stammering, and when he saw the dead silence in the hall, he laughed and whispered: "I didn't expect to hear the roar of the lion in Hedong again!" ”

The scene burst into laughter.

Wait for everyone to come back to the memory. looked at Su Shi strangely, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: How could this great writer make some friends who are afraid of his wife, Chen Jichang is one, and Shen Kuo, who betrayed him, also has a "Hedong Lion", and now this Zhao Xing seems to be not far from the realm of the first two.

It would be very embarrassing for others to encounter this, but Zhao Xing was thick-skinned...... Well, to put it mildly. It's that he learned three points of Su Shi's free and easy, and he didn't take anything to heart. He laughed and greeted casually: "Tea, wine, good wine and good food are all up." ”

Chen Yiyi dragged the two orchids out. rubbed her hands together and walked into the house, and when she saw everyone smiling when she came in, she hurriedly ran to Zhao Xing's side and coquettishly said: "What, Brother Xing, you won't blame me, right?" ”

How can it be blamed? Chen Yiyi, the county lord of a country, is willing to follow Zhao Xing without a name or share, and today is her wedding day. How could Zhao Xing scold her on this day. He reached out to wipe a few beads of sweat from Yiyi's forehead and whispered, "You're tired." Go back quickly, wash up and wait for me. ”

Chen Yiyi waved his little fist excitedly, and ran away without a trace.

Marrying a concubine is different from marrying a wife, most people marry concubines to set the table and drink relatives and friends to celebrate in private, Chen Yiyi's wedding has come out of the rules of concubines, although Zhao Xing did not mention Chen Yiyi's true identity, but everyone understands people. I don't feel stupid.

Drink a few more cups of tea. The guests began to take their leave. Su Dongpo didn't want to disturb Zhao Xing's good deeds, so he took his wife and children to say goodbye together. Wait for the guests to leave. Cheng Shuang began to arrange the new maid, and Zhao Xing called Yuan Yeping to the study and talked.

"How did you end up here? Has Michigan changed? Zhao Xing asked calmly.

Yuan Yeping pouted, complaining very femininely: "There is no change in Mizhou, I am here for other things, one is to send you a new maid, and the other is to tell you about some recent changes in the foreign domain." ”

Yuan Yeping now also calls the Wa Kingdom a foreign domain, which shows that this guy now also completely regards himself as a Song person.

Zhao Xing sighed and asked again: "But what does this have to do with your coming to Hangzhou?" Just send the maid to send a person, why not let you run by yourself. ”

Yuan Yeping replied aggrievedly: "Mizhou has changed to Zhizhou again, and I can't stay there...... I mean, it's not easy to be an official there, and in business, we are very strict, and outsiders can't interfere. ”

Wang Gong went to Mizhou in the spring of that year, stayed for six months, and then transferred to Zhihaizhou, and the new official stayed even shorter, only staying for four months, and was removed from office in the spring of the following year. The frequent change of the governor of Michigan also means that the oil and water in that place are so rich that every official changes frequently.

Although Zhang Yong has been sitting in Mizhou for several years, it is difficult for a small subordinate official like Yuan Yeping to do it, so he took advantage of the ship of the Japanese State to find an opportunity to learn from Zhao Xing, climbed on the boat and slipped away. Of course, the departure of Yuan Yeping's right-hand man also means that Zhang Yong's ** should be moved.

"What's the matter with the outer domain, let's talk about Tamna Island first?" Zhao Xing asked.

"As you said, Tamna Island is now fishing for whales and seals in the vicinity of Yamato, and the newly acquired large amount of meat can already feed our yards, and Pu Yi An is now the head of the Tamna Kingdom Courtyard, responsible for managing the king's money bags, and our people are happy to live there. Goryeo has come to consult the Tamna country, Pu Yi'an has discussed with the king of Tamna, as Shu State, annexed to Goryeo, it's nothing, anyway, one doesn't pay taxes, the other doesn't live, it's just to pay some money to Goryeo, Pu Yi'an wants to come and ask what you mean, if you agree, he will reply to Goryeo. ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "It should be like this, Tamluo is small, sandwiched between Goryeo and Wa, it is the truth that the left and right are the source, and the money buys peace, it is worth it." ”

Yuan Yeping continued: "In May, I got a message from the Liao State: Jiaxu, Shangjing and Nanjing are hungry, and the edict allows the good people to take their own heads. What do I mean ......"

"鬻" means "to sell", and the idiom "to sell children" also. This shows that the Liao State has been dragged down by the famine that lasted for three years, and allowed the Khitans, ordinary free people, to sell themselves into slavery to support themselves.

Zhao Xing smiled.

The ruling foundation of the Liao State began to collapse, and the free people aspired to be slaves, or rather, the free people had to be slaves to survive, and its ruling foundation had been shaken, and since then there has been no one in charge of the Liao State.

"Your idea is very right, hurry up and go to Liaoguo. Buy skilled craftsmen, buy all those who have a skill, send them to Tamna, send them to Changmen, buy as many as you want, even if you paste all the money of Mizhou Sea Trade, it is worth it. ”

Yuan Yeping nodded and wrote it down, and said hesitantly: "Leave people." There is news from the Wa country, Fujiwara Kiyohiro is the envoy of the 6 O'O's leader, and he has the Oku-6 Prefecture, and he has a message, I hope you can go and congratulate you. ”

Zhao Xing sighed. He said to himself: "The last three years of the battle are over? ”

"Yes, the war is over. Fujiwara Kiyohiro received the help of the Minamoto family and eliminated Fujiwara Ieheng. ”

"But why would he ask us to congratulate him?"

6 Honshu Island is the northernmost part of Oku, across the sea from Hokkaido, Zhao Xing's Nagato is the southernmost point of Japan's Honshu Island, Nagato is across the sea from Goryeo in the north, Tamna Island in the west, and Kitakyushu, the largest sulfur producer in Asia, in the south. 6 Oku and Nagato. Twenty-one south and one north. How could Fujiwara Kiyoheng ask Zhao Xing to go and congratulate him?

"I don't know, there may be a mystery in it. Kanto, perhaps...... I, the Genjia, would like to test your attitude. Or, I heard that Zhu Erzhou recently, Chen Sun Li is very active, maybe it is the result of their operation? But I think it's better for us to send someone to congratulate us so we can see what they think. What does Nagato Hall mean? ”

Yuan Yeping suddenly called Zhao Xing "Changmen Palace", reminding Zhao Xing of his other identity.

"Zhu Erzhou, Chen Sun Li" refers to Zhu Rencong, a Song merchant who often went to Japan to trade. Zhou Wende and Zhou Wende are two brothers. and Chen Wenyou, Sun Zhong, Li Chong and others, in the original history. These six people were the great merchants who controlled the Japanese sea trade land in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xing suddenly, he started by operating Japanese routes, but in the end he took root in Japan to build trading docks and warehouses, and walked out of a unique business road, although these six people did not conflict with Zhao Xing's operation, and even in many ways with the help of Zhao Xing's docks and warehouses to operate, but under the huge profits, they must be full of jealousy of Zhao Xing, an outsider.

Zhao Xing sighed deeply. Tired replied: "Japan can't be chaotic now, since last year, my Great Song Dynasty has been fighting every month, the last war has not ended, and a new war has begun!"

Japan's earth sulfur cannot be broken, and once it is interrupted, my Great Song Dynasty will die in a few months. ”

Yuan Yeping nodded in agreement, and he all traded between Song and Japan: "Since the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the sulfur purchased by the Great Song Dynasty from the Wa Kingdom every year has been about one million stones, with an average of 100,000 stones per month. Once the ship carrying sulfur land does not arrive for a month, the soldiers on the front line will suffer a great defeat. Because that sulfur trade route was the lifeline of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

What is called a rat trap, this is.

Zhao Xing continued to add: "The battle of the last three years has subsided, which is a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, because the mining of sulfur is about to rise, and I also think that no matter what the Fujiwara clan thinks, no matter what the six maritime merchants think, as long as it does not affect the mining of sulfur, for the time being, we can endure anything." ”

Hearing this, a chart suddenly appeared in Yuan Yeping's mind, on that chart, Nagato was just above Kitakyushu, and Tamna Island was hidden in the west of Kitakyushu, these two territories were like a clip, one left and one right blocked Liao, Goryeo, and all the attack routes of the Japanese main island, he hesitated, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

"I see! Nagatoden, please rest assured, I will arrange the right manpower, as long as Nagato is still in our hands, any conditions can be agreed. ”

"Let Yan Su go, this guy turned out to be the governor of Yingzhou, and this position is enough to express our attention...... By the way, how have these three Yingzhou captives been doing recently? ”

"The former county lieutenant Zhang Zhuowei was borrowed by Mr. Tu, and Mr. Yan is doing a very good job now, we have a huge trade tax to support, and now Song City is built very gorgeously ......", after a pause, Yuan Yeping added: "It is also very powerful." The mountain city, built of stone, with artillery all over the city walls, is easier to defend than your jasmine garden, and it is difficult to attack. ”

Yuan Yeping was talking about the offensive and defensive battle on the dock, and the weapons displayed by Zhao Xing were far less fierce and sharp than the ones he showed at sea.

Zhao Xing's study is just a place to meet guests. His library houses many Song dynasty books, some of which were collected from overseas. In this library, there are 100 volumes of Taiping Shenghui Fang alone, including 16,834 prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, there are 200 volumes of Shengjilu, which is a medical encyclopedia that collects the theoretical and practical results of diagnosis, prescription, pulse examination, medication, acupuncture and moxibustion. A total of 1,558 kinds of medicinal materials are introduced in Zhenghe Materia Medica, which can be said to be a complete work of pharmacology.

In addition, there are some mechanical books, there are Chinese, there are foreign, Shen Kuo's interests are obviously very mixed, he reads everything, the books he has read are thrown all over the desk and the ground, the black man Tyson is hiding in the corner with his fists in his hands, in the dark, if he is not careful, he will completely ignore the dark-skinned him.

Zhao Xingxian nodded at Tyson and ordered: "It's late at night, you instruct someone to arrange a place for Mr. Shen, prepare to rest, and let someone send some drinks by the way." ”

Shen Kuo replied: "Brother Zhao doesn't need to worry about me, there is a soft couch here, just lie down for a while when I'm tired." ”

Zhao Xingyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Mengxi doesn't need to call me Brother Zhao, your knowledge has won my respect, you can call me Xiao Zhao, or leave someone." Your old gentleman calls me a brother, and I can't afford it. ”

Shen Kuoqian gave in, his face showed a hint of pride, several servants carried a new soft couch into the house, Zhao Xing pointed to the two widows, and ordered: "You stay and serve Mr. Mengxi." Mr. Mengxi is fascinated by reading, you help him take care of ***. ”

Shen Kuo is also a shrewd person, since Zhao Xing came to him specially, he immediately understood Zhao Xing's purpose, and asked rhetorically: "Liren, are you here to ask me about Wangshan?" ”

Zhao Xing replied: "Mr. Mengxi just said that you also tried to make a crossbow at home, and you are also studying the scale on Wangshan, I want to know, what is going on in this Wangshan?" ”

Shen Kuo's eyes jumped, and he asked rhetorically: "On the crossbow made by Brother Liren, it was originally expected to be a mountain, don't you know how to use it?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled awkwardly and replied: "I accidentally saw a map, and I only restored the crossbow by memory, I know the principle of Wangshan, but I don't know how to operate it, and I often have to rely on experience." Can Mr. Shen tell me about it? ”

Shen Kuo replied proudly: "This is the method of Pythagorean." I speculate that its intention was to aim at the arrow with the eyes and then calibrate it with the scale of the lookout mountain to determine the height of the arrow, which is exactly what the calculator calls the Pythagorean method. It is recorded in "Taijia" that when shooting arrows, check the arrows first, and then release the arrows when they fit the degree. It is estimated that this is the scale.

Later, I actually tested it, and the words of the ancients are true! ”

"Calibrate the arrows with the scale of the lookout mountain to determine the height of the arrows...... I understand, it turns out that the Wangshan scale is used in conjunction with the arrow", Zhao Xing forgot to glance at Yuan Yeping, and his face was full of joy. Zhao Xing continued: "The Pythagorean method originally used the Pythagorean method to determine the trajectory, without the need for on-the-spot testing, without the use of parabolic equations...... I understand. ”

Shen Kuo was puzzled: "What is the solution to the parabolic equation?" ”

"Ahhh......h

Shen Kuo interrupted Zhao Xing's introduction and asked persistently: "What is the solution to the parabolic equation?" ”
