Chapter 834 The Great Invention

Wang Ning'an made a decision and he wanted to go home to check it out.

Many people's first reaction is that the King of Xiliang wants to return home in glory.

Thinking about it, he was a young boy at the time, now he was a prince and the master of the Political Affairs Hall. He held all the civil and military powers of the Song Dynasty. He was the emperor's army, had a respectable status and prominent official titles. There was no reason not to go home to check it out.

After all, Wang Ning'an has not returned home since the end of the Battle of Youzhou. During this period, my father and mother went to Luoyang and presided over the wedding of Wang Luoxiang and Wang Ningze. Now he has returned to Youzhou.

It is reasonable to go home to worship ancestors, and to see parents by the way, and enjoy family happiness.

But now the drought is severe and there are frequent emergencies in various places. If no one is in charge of the capital, there will be problems.

"Master, I think you'd better wait." Zhao Shu said worriedly: "I'm afraid that those people will cause trouble if you are not in the capital."

"No!"

Wang Ning'an smiled, "Your Majesty, you are the Supreme Master of Nine Five now, and you don't even have this courage. How can you convince the public?"

Zhao Shu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I, I'm still quite worried. After all, there are news that there are no news everywhere. If local officials are corrupt and stir up civil unrest, the situation in the court will be difficult to control, I, I really don't know what to do!"

"Haha, Your Majesty, I have something to do. I must go to Youzhou. I can tell Your Majesty that it is not about returning home in glory and showing off. But there is an important invention that I need to see with my own eyes and make arrangements."

"Is invention? Is it important?"

"Yeah!" Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "If this thing works, it can bring at least 500 years of national destiny to the Song Dynasty. Is it important?"

Zhao Shu took a breath and changed color slightly. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, no dynasty has been more than three hundred years. Master said that his national destiny has been 500 years, and he looks absolutely extraordinary!

"Master, are more important than cement, gold and yuan?"

"Well, it's a hundred times more important!"

Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "I must see with my own eyes how far it has reached and what difficulties it is. In addition, the Liao Kingdom will also be involved in the battlefield of Goryeo. I need to plan and see what to do next?"

Zhao Shu said curiously: "Master, do we send troops too?"

"Your Majesty, why do you need to send troops?"

"In order to defeat Liao Kingdom?"

"Then can you defeat the Liao Kingdom without sending troops?"

"Of course that's better." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "But I can't come up with such a good idea."

Wang Ning'an pondered: "Your Majesty, the more you participate in the war, the more you will suffer. My Song Dynasty is not well-founded and there is a drought. It is really not suitable to participate in the war. During these days when I went to Youzhou, please keep your Majesty and keep any proposals for participating in the war. If it is very important, you can send me an emergency delivery. In addition, I recommend another person. As long as he returns to the court, the world will be peaceful."

"Who?" Zhao Shu asked excitedly.

"Wen Yanbo!"

...

When Wang Ning'an pulled Old Wen to the Western Regions, causing Gong Wen to stay away from the center of the court. The old and the old changed, and he didn't get any credit for it. He just ate sand. Even Song Xiang and Pang Ji caught Pingzhang's military and national affairs, and Jia Changchao even turned over.

Can Wen Yanbo not be jealous?

Wang Ning'an knows Wen Yanbo too well. Obviously, Lao Wen hates Wang Ning'an, but Lao Wen is also very rational. Now his opponent is not Wang Ning'an, but three old guys who are important to Pingzhang's military and national affairs!

Bring Wen Yanbo back, Ouyang Xiu is still the prime minister at the moment. As long as they cooperate, it will be enough to suppress all parties. It is impossible for anyone to take advantage of Wang Ning'an's absence to cause trouble and restraint.

Seeing that the master had made arrangements, Zhao Shu had nothing to say.

The only thing that made him curious was Wang Ning'an's invention that was long-lasting. What exactly was it worth a trip from Master! Unfortunately, Wang Ning'an kept silent and never said anything when Zhao Shu asked.

There was no way, Zhao Shu could only find Gouyaer.

"I'll give you a holiday and go home to worship my ancestors!"

Gou Yaer scratched her head, "I think I'm going to be a spy?"

"Yes, do you take it properly?"

"What's wrong with it?" Gou Yaer stretched out with a smile and said casually: "Anyway, I'm too bored to stay in the capital. I'm walking around and looking at the scenery. Some people can't even walk out in a small circle. They also say they are the masters of the world. I'll ask, which master can't go to the corner of their house to take a look? It's completely unreasonable! I really don't know if it's the master or the guest?"

Zhao Shu gritted his teeth, "Hmph, wait. After I keep my father mourning, I will go wherever I want, and no one can control me!"

Ignoring Zhao Shu, who was full of resentment, Gou Yaer hurried back home, packed his luggage, and prepared to go to Youzhou with his father.

As a result, Gou Yaer discovered that in addition to him, Xiao Guanyin also went back with her.

My mother Yang Xi stayed to take care of the whole family. Originally, Su Baniang was determined to accompany Wang Ning'an, but she had no choice but to give up when she was pregnant and could not travel a long distance.

Gou Yaer made a little calculation. When Ernie was pregnant, his father just married his master.

Alas, being a man is not easy!

It’s not good to ignore any of the three ladies!

Dad is pitiful.

People say that the emperor has three thousand harems, and his good brother Zhao Shu may not have a life in the future? Gouyaer lamented that he had thought about it and must not get married early. This man will not be free when he gets married... Taking advantage of his youth, he should have fun and enjoy himself, and he must not draw a prison for himself!

This kid is full of colorful thoughts and is thinking about it.

Wang Ning'an didn't make much noise when he returned home. He was now at the peak of powerful officials. If he was swaying, he would cause trouble for himself.

He didn't want to learn from Zhang Juzheng, so he got a 64-carrying sedan chair and saved all his fortune and longevity!

Wang Ning'an just took a light car and pretended to be an ordinary business traveler. After leaving Xijing, he did not make any noise along the way and rushed to Youzhou directly.

On the road, Wang Ning'an kept adjusting his route, making no one understand his direction.

Xiao Guanyin was speechless, "Prince, you are not low-key, you are cherishing your life!"

"Nonsense, Xijing is a family, Youzhou is a family, and you are still there. If something happens to me, you will cry!"

When it’s time to act like a hero, never pretend!

Wang Ning'an took about 20 days to arrive in Youzhou. It has to be said that in recent years, the roads and bridges of the Song Dynasty have improved a lot, and the time on the road has been reduced by at least half.

When he arrived in Youzhou, Wang Ning'an did not go home, but went straight to the west mountain.

The western mountain of Youzhou happens to be the remnant of the Taihang Mountains. The terrain is dangerous. Looking east to Youzhou and the desert in the west, it is a place that military strategists must fight for. A few years ago, the Khitan cavalry broke through the Great Wall several times and threatened the west of the capital.

However, as the strength of both sides has increased and decreased in recent years, the Wang family's cavalry has continued to take the initiative to attack and completely drive away the Khitans.

After calming down, Xishan also developed rapidly, and many people flocked here. Their main industry is mining and coal mining!

In recent years, the urbanization of the Song Dynasty was rapid. Youzhou, as an important northern town and the base of the Wang family army, has made great progress. When it was just recovered, the population was only 50,000 to 60,000, and only 100,000 were included in the captives.

However, after years of development, the population of Youzhou has officially exceeded 500,000, and there are also more than 100,000 migrant workers and tens of thousands of garrisons every year.

With so many people, the first thing they need to solve is the food, food, oil and salt.

It is absolutely not enough to just cut down trees.

Therefore, people dig out coal early to supply the city's needs.

The valley in western Beijing is a coal-producing area.

There are not the most coal mines here, the best taste is not the best, and the easiest mining is not the easiest. However, it is closest to Youzhou, which is related to the warmth and warmth of the 600,000 Youzhou soldiers and civilians. It is unscrupulous.

Accompanied by his son, wife and guards, Wang Ning'an entered the mining area.

After approaching the West Mountain, they discovered a very serious problem.

Because the mountains and hills overlap here, some small coal mines are in the ravine. If it encounters rainy days, rainwater flows backwards, enters the coal area, or even flows into the mine pit, it will be impossible to mine coal.

In some cases, the accumulation of water can even last for several months, the worst is that it cannot produce coal for a year.

Wang Ning'an and the others walked inside, and along the way, you could see many drainage ditches, and even workers were still busy. They stopped in front of a small coal mine.

Two guys covered in mud rushed out from inside and saw Wang Ning'an at first sight. The leader hurriedly leaned down and said in surprise: "Master!"

When Gou Yaer heard this shout, she almost fell down. My father had so many apprentices. This guy who was like a mud monkey was actually his apprentice? He didn't look like him no matter how he looked like him?

Wang Ning'an laughed, ignoring nothing, and reached out to pat Xu Yang on the shoulder.

"You are all appointed officials of the court, so don't do everything yourself."

Xu Yang smiled honestly, "I'm afraid they won't do it well, and this matter is not small. As a disciple, you can't be careless."

Gou Yaer asked secretly and then he realized that this guy was actually a master of inventing cement. The role of cement in recent years is well known to everyone. Zhao Zhen promoted him all the way and gave him a fifth-rank crown belt. He is also the honorary president of the Royal Academy of Agestic Engineering!

But no matter what, Gouyaer couldn't connect this guy with the world-renowned master.

Of course, Xu Yang doesn’t care much about his reputation. He just likes to make things, especially things that change history!

Wang Ning'an took everyone into the depths of the coal mine. It rained a few days ago, and the mine pit was filled with water. Dog Ya'er saw a pipe-like thing that kept draining water out, one by one. Could it be that someone was carrying water down there? This guy was very strong enough and he didn't have to rest.

Gouyaer thought about it, but found that his father's eyes had already fallen aside. There was a huge iron stove connected to an egg-shaped container. Next to the stove, workers were constantly adding coal to the boiler!
