Chapter 393: Corn and Tobacco

After Zhao Shuo finished speaking, Zhang Chujiu scratched his head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "The iron is so heavy, and it doesn't sink directly into the river when it is done!" ”

Hearing Zhang Chujiu's words, Zhao Shuo was afraid of hurting Zhang Chujiu's self-esteem, so he couldn't help but laugh, but it was really uncomfortable, and finally turned into a cough.

"Ahem, ahem...... There is some truth in what you said, but don't worry, the sea water is very buoyant and can't sink. ”

"Oh!" Zhang Chujiu nodded as if he didn't understand, and then went down to deliver the news.

After Zhang Chujiu left, Zhao Shuo scratched his nose. "Isn't it too early to make an iron frame ship?"

Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Shuo muttered again. "It's time to do it, it's time to do it, even if it can't be all made of iron, you have to wrap the bottom and the boat with iron."

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuo laughed.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhao Shuo found Gonggong Feng. Gonggong Feng's current task is to send people to supervise Zhang Chujiu's subordinates, which is a little more workload than Zhang Chujiu.

"Gonggong Feng, I've lost weight." As soon as Gonggong Feng entered the door, Zhao Shuo opened his mouth with some distress.

Although Gonggong Feng was not fat before, no matter how you say it, he had to have a hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, but now, when he broke through the sky, it was only one hundred and thirteen.

"Lord Wang." Gonggong Feng bowed and saluted.

"Okay, between us, let's do without these false gifts." Zhao Shuo took a few steps ahead and came to Gonggong Feng's side. "If you're tired, I'll help you with this person......"

Hearing Zhao Shuo say this, Feng Gonggong's first feeling was that Zhao Shuo felt that he was not doing a good job and wanted to be replaced.

He hurriedly saluted again. "Lord, old slave ......"

"Oops~!" Seeing Father-in-law Feng like this, Zhao Shuo knew that Father-in-law Feng was thinking too much. "I didn't mean to blame you, I just felt sorry for you."

Holding Gonggong Feng, Zhao Shuo said again. "I can't bear to see you so tired." After a slight pause, Zhao Shuo added. "Father-in-law Feng, in this way, I will now give you a power to freely appoint the officials of the Supervision Division. This way, it will be easier for you to find a few assistants who can help you. ”

The Supervision Department is the name given by Zhao Shuo to the procuratorial organs led by Feng Gonggongshuo, who supervised the intelligence organs.

In the face of Zhao Shuo's decentralization, Father-in-law Feng burst into tears. At the beginning, he was the closest person to Zhao Shuo, and he also regarded Zhao Shuo as the closest person. However, with the increase in the number of generals around Zhao Shuo, Gonggong Feng felt that the relationship between him and Zhao Shuo was getting farther and farther away.

In order to get closer to Zhao Shuo, or in other words, in order to prove that he is still useful, Gonggong Feng looks forward to Zhao Shuo giving him something to do every day.

Unlike Lin Feng, Ju Zheng, Shi Lance and others, Gonggong Feng can't lead troops to fight, and unlike Ling Yun and others, he doesn't know anything about firearms.

All he could do was run errands and spread the news, which made him feel that he was farther away from Zhao Shuo.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and after the establishment of the intelligence system, Zhao Shuo was not at ease and wanted to establish a monitoring system.

It happened that all parties were at war at that time, and there were not many people available around Zhao Shuo, which gave Gonggong Feng a chance.

For this opportunity, Feng Gonggong cherished it very much, trained the backbone, recruited supervisors, summarized the information obtained, and did everything himself. That's why he's so thin.

It shows that Zhao Shuo believes in him, and the relationship between him and Zhao Shuo has improved again. Isn't everything he did just for this, and now Zhao Shuo actually wants to hand over the appointment and dismissal of the official position of the supervisory body to him, isn't this?

Now that the dream has come true, how can Grandpa Feng not be excited.

"Alright, alright." Zhao Shuo looked at Gonggong Feng, who was already crying with red eyes, and patted him on the shoulder.

After Gonggong Feng was grateful, he stabilized his mood. "Lord Wang, you called the old slave here, wouldn't it be for this?"

Zhao Shuo pointed at Gonggong Feng. "First, I really miss you, and second, I want to ask about tobacco again."

About tobacco, Gonggong Feng had already told Zhao Shuo last time, he had already said everything he knew, and now he could only talk about all the things about tobacco, and repeated it again.

"Is that thing easy to smoke?" After Gonggong Feng finished speaking, Zhao Shuo asked softly.

Although Zhao Shuo is not addicted to cigarettes, he still smokes some occasionally, especially when he is stressed or nervous.

Hearing Zhao Shuo's question, Gonggong Feng nodded slowly.

"Then find a way to get some more, I want to try it too." Zhao Shuo scratched his nose and said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, this ......" Gonggong Feng looked embarrassed. The old slave can only do his best, and it is difficult to say whether he can find it or not. ”

Zhao Shuo nodded. "It's okay, if you find merit, you can't find faultless." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo tilted his head and asked the real purpose of coming to Gonggong Feng this time. "I want to build an iron ship and sail across the ocean, what do you think?"

"Ironclad ship, sailing across the ocean?" Gonggong Feng was stunned. The ironclad ship subverted the concept of a wooden ship in his mind, and the voyage across the ocean completely subverted his worldview.

According to his thoughts, the land where the Great Song Dynasty is located is the center of the world, and in addition to the ocean, there are some wild places around it, and they don't know where to go.

"Haha......" Sensing Grandpa Feng's strange appearance, Zhao Shuo laughed a little embarrassed. He muttered in his heart, is it really not appropriate to send troops to sail now.

"Lord Wang, you're not joking, are you?" Seeing Zhao Shuo laughing, Gonggong Feng, who had been stunned for a while, looked at Zhao Shuo with suspicious eyes.

"Originally......" When the words came to his mouth, Zhao Shuo pressed down stiffly. Actually, it's just going to the Li Dynasty, as well as the Zhancheng to the south of Li Chao, and the Ma Yi on the Zhancheng side. ”

As soon as Zhao Shuo said this, Gonggong Feng made an expression of enlightenment, Zhancheng and Ma Yi both came out of the mouth of Li Chao's envoy, your Li Dynasty is not far away, Gonggong Feng knows.

"Lord Wang, there should be sweet potatoes here, and there shouldn't be tobacco, right?"

Gonggong Feng's words were tentative.

"I don't know about that, but most of them probably don't." Zhao Shuo sighed and continued. "I know where it is, but with our current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach."

As soon as Zhao Shuo finished speaking, Gonggong Feng, who had never forgotten the taste of tobacco, swallowed a few mouthfuls of foam and asked impatiently. "Where, where?"

"This place is called America, and it's quite far away from us, and the iron-building ships want to go there." Zhao Shuo shook his head and said helplessly.

"South America?" Gonggong Feng thought about it and shook his head. "I haven't heard of it."

"It's normal not to hear about it." Zhao Shuo sighed. "There is the world I saw in my dreams, and there was something other than tobacco - corn."

Thinking of corn, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but lick his tongue. Ever since he came here, he's been savoring the smell of corn. There are all kinds of ways to eat, and each of them makes him have an endless aftertaste.
