Chapter 997

The whole group of people kept their posture and did not move. They watched Su Dongpo, the old driver, go from sitting and muttering to slowly standing up, carrying his big hands on his back, wandering around the stove, and muttering constantly.

Now, Master Wang couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and subconsciously pulled Zong Ze, who was sitting next to him. "Master Zong, how much did Su Xiang drink?"

"It shouldn't be a lot. I guess it's only about one pound. What's wrong, Lord Xiao Wang, are you worried..."

"Well, I'm a little worried. This old man shouldn't be alcohol poisoning, right?" Wang Yang raised his hand and scratched his chin. It seemed that he didn't look like it. After all, the symptoms of alcohol poisoning should be that he was unconscious.

But what is Su Dongpo's strange situation? Early stroke? Unlike Alzheimer's disease? Well... it's too far.

"You little brat, don't talk nonsense there, I'll beat you if you believe it or not..." Su Dongpo, who was worried about the country and the people, was directly furious to Wang Yang's slandering guess, almost kicked him over with a big foot.

"Hehe, uncle, you're fine. Isn't you care about you?" Wang Yang laughed dryly, and felt relieved. He was really afraid that this old man would be so worried about the country and the people.

"I have an idea, hahaha..." After scolding Wang Yang angrily, perhaps because of his clear ideas and his thinking, Su Dongpo suddenly burst into laughter.

"Su Xiang, what idea did you think of?" Zhong Shidao, who was silently pursuing his internal affairs experience value, couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's related to this kid." Su Dongpo pointed at Ru Jian and pointed at Wang Yang and said proudly.

"Me?" Wang Yang looked confused. Could this old driver be thinking about something about the demon moth again?

"I am afraid that I will not stay here for a long time when I am on Shaanxi Road, but I am worried that you are unstable and will fight with the newly appointed Shaanxi Road Strategy and Pacifier, so how long does it take to go?"

"But if you stay, you won't be able to stay for long. The court will eventually choose someone to come." When he said this, Su Dongpo couldn't help but sigh.

"The land of the three states of Yan, You and Hong have great prospects under your management. However, the three states of Yin, Shi and Long, which have just been incorporated into the territory of our Song Dynasty, have just passed through the suffering of war, and most of the people have left the land of these three states with the defeated troops of the Western Xia, and there are very few people left."

"It can be said that all industries are withering and all destruction are prospering. At this time, if an unfamiliar official is responsible for handling it, do you think he can let you, the governor of the Three States, extend your hand to the land of the Three States?"

Wang Yang looked at Zong Ze, and Zong Ze also looked at Wang Yang and nodded with a sad face. "What Su Xiang said is very true. I am afraid that at that time, we would like to ask Lord Xiao Wang for advice, but instead offend our immediate boss. This is a small matter, but if the boss interferes wildly and suffers the migrant people, it will be a big deal."

Wang Yang's face couldn't help but become gloomy and he turned his eyes to Su Dongpo. These are all real problems. Could it be that the old driver Su Dongpo, who has already thought of a good solution to deal with it?

"So, I am going to ask the court to report. Since Bei Liao dared to set up a Hedong Road in the north of our country, why can't we set up a Shaanxi North Road here?"

"Shaanxi North Road?" Wang Yang was stunned and suddenly reacted. "What do you mean is to combine the six prefectures of salt, You, Hong, Yin, Shi, and Long into one Shaanxi North Road?"

"Yes, that's what it means, and I will recommend you to the court as the strategic appeasement envoy of Shaanxi North Road."

Hearing this, both Zhong Shidao and Zong Ze couldn't help but lit up and their eyes fell on Wang Yang.

Wang Yang also had his eyes lit up, and quickly stood up and bowed to Su Dongpo solemnly. "I really want to do it, I dare not refuse."

"If it can be successful, then Wang will work diligently to do his job well, so that this northern Shaanxi area will become another prosperous hometown in our Song Dynasty."

Su Dongpo stroked his long beard and patted Wang Yang on the shoulder, saying satisfied. "Yes, this is Wang Wushan that I am optimistic about. He has always been pretentious and faced difficulties."

"If it can really happen, then Zong will be much more relaxed. He will definitely have to walk here more in the future..." Zong Ze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With this little Wang who recommended him as his boss, things will inevitably go much smoother.

"It seems that anyone who has gone wherever he has gone, as long as there are new things that are useful, he can think of ways to make them use of them. These things are really real, and it feels warmer and more firm than filling the burlap with sackcloth..."

Gao Taotao looked at a young eunuch in front of him, and the eunuch was Zhao Xu's confidant eunuch Ma Shangma. He was wearing a cotton ball man. He was wearing a cotton hat on his head, a cotton coat on his body, a cotton pants on his lower body, a pair of cotton shoes on his feet, and of course a pair of cotton gloves on his hands.

However, this thick cotton glove is not divided into five fingers, only the thumb is separated, and the other four fingers are one set, which is quite similar to the boxing gloves in later generations.

Emperor Zhao Xu was circling around this guy with great interest. After wandering around for a long time, he finally found out that something was wrong. "The emperor's grandmother is right. Hello, you guy, you didn't scare you or yell at you, why are you sweating coldly?"

"Your Majesty, I am so hot... Please take off this out of your clothes if you are so kind..." The Ma Shang Ma Gongren said with a sad face.

"Is it so hot?" The emperor turned around and looked at the copper furnace that was faintly red from the furnace not far away, and then he felt relieved. "Go and take it off quickly..."

Ma Shang agreed happily, rushed to the side and quickly took off the thing. The truth was that he had not been able to wear the incense stick, and the clothes inside almost soaked the sweat.

There is no way. After all, this is a winter dress worn outside, and it is naturally very warm. But now the Spring and Autumn Palace is as warm as spring. Ma Shang will only feel that life is worse than death and will not feel warm when wearing this thing.

"This set of equipment that is enough to resist the cold outside the house in the bitter and cold land of the northern part of the country is only four or five hundred yuan, which can be considered cheap and affordable." Emperor Zhao Xu picked up a brand new cotton glove from the side and put it in his hand and shook it, which was very novel and authentic.

"No wonder Wang Wushan kept talking about selling wasteland and making a lot of money before. I thought this kid was fooling him. As a result, those lands that could not plant food could actually grow such cotton that could be weaved into cloth or filled with heating. It was really beyond my expectations..."
