Yesterday, Wang Yan only met Wang Shao after working for half a day, but today he worked hard all day, and when he went back at night, he was already exhausted, despite this, Wang Yan still insisted on finishing today's log and showing it to Shen Long.

"Well, this time there has been a lot of progress, but there are still a few things that are not right....." Shen Long instructed Wang Yan to make revisions, and after a few days, Wang Yan's experiment log was already well written.

The land was also turned over, and Shen Long took Wang Yan and Wu Xiaoyi to plant all the seeds that had been prepared, and the next thing was to wait for these seeds to break through the ground and sprout.

Taking advantage of this gap, Shen Long took Wang Yan to Sado Island, which opened Wang Yan's eyes, it turned out that from the air, my Great Song Territory was actually like this, "The immortal spell is really wonderful." ”

Well, this is a bit bad, theology will hinder the progress of science, so Shen Long hurriedly lied, "This is not a fairy spell, it is also the result of the knowledge of things, just like the fire gun shown to you before, it is all created by craftsmen, with the current technical level of the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to fly so fast and so steadily, but if you want to take people to the sky, it is a very simple thing." ”

When I get back, I'll take out the hot air balloon and show you how to see it! Ignoring the shocked Wang Yan, Shen Long sped up and crossed the ocean and came to Sado Island.

According to the information he had studied, Shen Long selected several places where there were gold mines, planted explosives and detonated them, and blew up a lot of ore with golden and silver light.

"This is really gold and silver! Such a large area is full of gold and silver mines? Wang Yan was about to drool when he saw the gold ore and silver ore, if he took this island, he would have to worry about not having money to change the law.

"Let's go find a place to draw the pattern of Sado Island, and then mark the place where the gold ore and silver ore are found." Shen Long commanded, this is going to be taken back to fool Zhao Ji.

Wang Yan immediately went to do it happily, and it took more than half an hour to draw a map that could barely be read, and marked the ores with numbers, indicating where these ores were found, and when he finished doing this, Shen Long took him back to Kaifeng City.

During the period, it was still falling on the sea, and some seawater was sprinkled on the map, so you have to do a decent job of faking it, right? Since this map was brought back by a maritime merchant, how can it be done without the taste of the sea?

Back in the city, Wang Anshi found people to identify these ores, and determined that these were rare and good mines, with extremely high gold and silver content, so he immediately took action, and after arranging the manpower to play the role of maritime merchants, he secretly took these ores and the old map into the palace to find Zhao Ji.

When he first heard the news, Zhao Ji felt awkward like Wang Anshi, hey, there is no way, the emperor who is cowardly is used to being bullied by the Khitan and the party, and he doesn't realize that he can bully other people at all.

But after listening to Wang Anshi talk about the amount of gold and silver on Sado Island, as well as the current dilemma faced by the Great Song Dynasty's finances, Zhao Ji finally cheered up, how to say that this emperor who had also worn armor was more or less courageous than other emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise he would not have launched a battle to attack Xia.

And this time it is facing the Japanese people, the Great Song Dynasty may be afraid of the Khitans and the party people, but they are not very afraid of the Japanese country, plus Wang Anshi's plan is to fool or buy, not to send troops to attack, even if it fails, there will be no serious consequences, so Zhao Wei agreed.

It's just that the exchanges between the two countries are not so simple, the Great Song Dynasty holds its own identity, and will definitely not send an envoy to the Wa Kingdom first, and the big country must have the bearing of a great power; Instead, he first revealed some rumors, which attracted the envoys of the Wa Kingdom to visit first, and then the envoys of the Wa State invited them again and again, and the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty would go to the Wa Kingdom.

Literati can't do other things, they are still very good at doing this kind of thing, Wang Anshi revealed a little bit of news to Zhang Dan, and Zhang Duan immediately arranged for someone to do it.

The Zhang family is a big Fujian family, and the clan also has a maritime business, although the Zhang family mainly takes the southern route, but also has dealings with the Ninghai Zhou family, which led the trade with the Japanese.

The ancestors of the Zhou clan in Ninghai were friendly with the white Fujiwara Lai Tong of the Wa State Guan, and were appointed by Fujiwara Yoritong as the envoy of the Dazai Mansion of the Wa State, trying to establish a formal relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, but because of the incomplete procedures, the ancestors of the Zhou family were stopped by the Ming City Bo Si and did not let him enter Beijing.

Although many years have passed now, the influence of the Zhou clan in the Wa Kingdom has not faded, and it is not very troublesome to get the identity of an envoy again.

Ninghai Zhou's family now has enough money, but they don't have an official position, Zhang Dian threw a little bait, and they immediately took the bait, and they hurriedly agreed, and immediately took someone to handle the matter.

Just when the seedlings of sweet potatoes, corn, and peanuts were gradually flourishing, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom arrived in Kaifeng, and it seemed that Su Shi and Zhang Dian would soon be able to go to the Wa Kingdom.

Wang Anshi and Zhang Dian had a secret conversation in private, and outsiders don't know what they talked about, but they heard that Zhang Dian was in a very good mood that night; Zhang Dan's heart for fame and fortune is very heavy, and now when he encounters such an opportunity to make contributions, once this matter is done, he will inevitably be reused, and of course he will be overjoyed.

When Su Shi and Zhang Dian left Kaifeng and went to Zhejiang to prepare to cross the sea to the Wa Kingdom, the peanuts, corn, and sweet potatoes planted by Shen Long and Wang Yan were also ripe.

On the day of the harvest, Wang Anshi, Wang Shao and others were present in person, when they saw the fruitful harvest, they couldn't help themselves with excitement, Wang Yan was about to cry, this was all planted by his own hands.

Finally, the yield of sweet potatoes is more than 2,000 catties, although the yield of corn per mu is not as good as sweet potatoes, and peanuts are only two or three hundred catties per acre, but 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 official's house and find a place outside Kaifeng City to grow these grains." Looking at the seeds planted now, Shen Long's few acres of land are definitely not enough, and ordinary people don't have such a large piece of land, Wang Anshi has taken a fancy to the Zhao family's imperial village, that is, the imperial village of later generations.

"Yuan Ze can be responsible for this matter, Yuan Ze is willing to work hard these days, and he has learned how to serve these grains." Shen Long said that at the beginning of the year, Wang Yan was still a handsome son, but now he has become dark and thin, but the whole person is much more energetic, and he is no longer as weak as he was at the beginning.

"Then what is Daoist Shen going to do next?" Wang Anshi and Wang Yan hung their hearts at the same time, shouldn't this one be leaving?

"Me? I'm going to set up a college, so I'll help me find a place. Shen Long said.
