Farmer’s Little Girl - Chapter 3512
Chapter 3512 Fanwai 45
This time, when he returned to Beijing, Bai Shan presented the map he drew to the emperor. The emperor stared at the map in his hand and remained silent, especially when he saw the places where the triangles were drawn, he was even more silent.
Bai Shandao: “Although it’s not very accurate, there are seven points. If there are no accidents, these places should be silver mines.”
The emperor pointed to the other two symbols and asked, “What about these two?”
Bai Shan glanced at it and said, “It’s copper and iron ore.”
The emperor’s heart was about to move, he looked at Bai Shan, “When did Aiqing study minerals?”
Bai Shandao: “The more flowers, plants and grasses have been dug, the more you know about the changes in soil quality, and then you can figure out the differences in the minerals of the mountains, rocks and minerals.”
Fart, all the farmers who farmed the land that day were able to look for mines?
In fact, Bai Shan read more and more books after he retired. Zhou Man has another channel to get books, and occasionally he takes out a book, which contains words describing gold mines, and even various methods of smelting gold mines.
As soon as Bai Shan was curious, he looked for gold mines according to the description in the book. Gold, who doesn’t like it?
The couple once imagined that they would find a large gold mine in the wild, especially the exposed gold mine with a particularly high gold content, and then go home with the gold mine and smelt the gold by themselves…
Unfortunately, they didn’t find a gold mine in the end, but Bai Shan read more and more books, and finally found a lot of silver and copper mines.
There is a shortage of gold and silver in Dajin, especially silver, which is in short supply, which leads to the fact that merchants basically use copper coins for transactions, but the quality of copper coins is heavy to carry. vulnerable.
If you accidentally get wet, the value will be greatly reduced. . .
So the most stable currency in the world is still gold and silver.
In recent years, due to the rapid development of trade in Dajin, the mining of gold and silver has also improved a lot, but the domestic supply of gold and silver is still far from meeting the demand, which makes gold and silver more expensive.
In the long run, this is not a good thing.
If you can find a lot of silver mines…even overseas, it’s worth a try.
The emperor pondered, “I remember last year that the Queen of Silla wrote a letter asking me to send troops to attack Baekje and Japan?”
Bai Shan was silent.
This year he stayed away from the government and did not know the situation in the court.
The imperial palace walking in front of the imperial palace immediately said: “Your Majesty, this spring, the Japanese country made a tribute, and asked me to reconcile the old relationship with me. Please give your majesty the name of Japan.”
So you forgot, now we don’t have an excuse to call.
The state is busy, how can the emperor remember such a small thing?
But when Hanlin mentioned it, he remembered it, and he suddenly felt a little regretful. At that time, he took the meter too fast, and now he regrets it because he is afraid of losing the demeanor of a great country.
The Emperor sighed and glanced regretfully at the location of the Japanese state on the map, his eyes fixed on Baekje, “Is Baekje still obstructing Silla from coming to court?”
Hanlin bowed and replied, “Yes, Baekje and Silla sometimes confront each other. In order to stop Silla and our court from seeking help, Baekje sometimes intercepts our court’s merchant ships. In this regard, the governor of Kuo has appealed to Baekje many times.”
The emperor nodded and pointed at Baekje: “Contact Silla with Qingzhou and the Anton Protectorate. If Baekje doesn’t repent, then help Silla to accept Baekje.”
How dare the Hanlins dare to respond. As Hanlins, they can participate in politics and give advice, but most of them act as consultants, and the decision has to be discussed by the three provinces together.
Sure enough, Bai Shan reminded: “Why didn’t your Majesty invite all of you to come and discuss? And…”
His eyes were fixed on the map of the Japanese country, “The Japanese people seek profit. When wandering in the Japanese country, the minister once revealed that he likes the scenery of the Japanese country, and wants to buy some plots there for old-age care, and can also be used as an industry to attract customers. , the generals of the Japanese country are very happy and rush to send the land.”
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, “Aiqing accepted it?”
Bai Shan shook his head, “I didn’t plan to go to the Japanese country often, so I refused for the time being, but if your majesty is interested, this minister can recommend one or two to your majesty.”
Of course not in his real identity, otherwise, even if the Japanese country does not know their purpose, they will know that their purpose is impure.
Bai Shan and the others have no use for their real identities on this trip abroad.
The emperor looked at the map and various signs in his hand. Finally, he did not hold on to the fact that they smuggled the princess out of the country. Instead, he looked at Bai Shan and asked, “Aiqing, why don’t you come back and help me.”
Bai Shan immediately became saddened, “Your Majesty, this minister has been running around for three years, and his health is not as good as before. In addition, in recent years, he has been easy-going and relaxed, and it may be difficult to discipline himself as usual. Your Majesty’s kindness is profound, and he has acquired many talents in recent years. …”
Anyway, just one central idea, he doesn’t want to come back to work.
The moment was raised by the emperor, he was very moved. In the past few years, the relationship between their monarch and their ministers has eased. He remembered the time when the monarch and his ministers met each other in the past, and he forgot the hatred of the previous differences.
But after he proposed it, he felt a little regretful, so after Bai Shan refused, he felt both regret and happiness. The emperor himself never thought that one day he would be able to realize such complicated emotions.
In the center position, there is a radish squatting in a pit. If he goes back, which radish will make a hole for him?
Isn’t that harmful?
He has already been a prime minister, and he is still a prime minister of a long time. He has already paid for his ambitions, so why should he come out and be hated?
Moreover, both of his children are now working, and he, the father, is still running out. Isn’t that a roadblock for them?
His father is not a tiger, so he wouldn’t do such a thing that hurts others and hurts himself.
So after talking to the emperor and presenting the gift, he went home and closed the door to thank the guests for recuperation.
Released news to people outside that he had just returned from overseas, was exhausted by traveling, was not acclimatized to the soil and water, and fell ill.
Those in the court who found out that the emperor wanted him to serve in the officialdom were tense and relaxed. They probably guessed that Bai Shan would not serve in officialdom again, so they relaxed and watched the emperor rewarded the county master’s mansion with a lot of good things. anxious.
The people of Zhou Man sit at home, and the ceremony falls from the sky, and what they receive is very happy.
She sent the medical books and herbal books written in the past few years to the Imperial Physician’s Office. “After transcribing and checking, she sent a copy to the Chongwen Museum and the Bookstore. When you print it out, remember to return the original to me.”
Imperial Physician Zheng recognized that this was Zhou Man’s character, and responded with a sigh, “Master Zhou, I’m afraid all the doctors in the world will come from your door in the future.”
With this secret skill and output, who can compare to her among the world’s medical practitioners?
Zhou Man slammed him, “Naturally, the Zheng family can also. I heard that the Zheng family has the cases and prescriptions that you have recorded…”
Imperial Physician Zheng: … He knew she was still thinking about something from his family.
Zheng Taiyi said: “No, you have spent almost all these years, and the rest are some secret recipes for medicines, which are things that our Zheng family saves their lives, and can’t be given.”
Of course Zhou Man wouldn’t ask people for secret recipes, it’s something that people stand up for, and nodded when he heard the words, “We’ll discuss medical techniques later, this time I went to sea, and I also saw several rare diseases, some cured and some cured. No, I have written the case…”
